Since the most common platform for puppet is Linux, and people perform editing on Windows, they are bitten by the fact that they do not get files that are UTF8 and with LF endings by default.

Most users probably want this.

Not sure how easy it is to set this by default (as opposed to like it is now with default being the platform defaults where Geppetto runs). Maybe it is possible to override this in packaged Geppetto. When installing in the IDE, it is really the IDE that decides.

We should make notes in the FAQ as well how people should work with line endings and encoding.
