Sometimes, I push to a Windows filesystem mounted on my Mac - should darcs convert in this case or not?

I think this is a very good point. Because darcs does not distinguish repositories and working dirs, one's working dir isn't necessarily the result of a specific checkout. Given that, it might make more sense to have a separate conversion mechanism, and have the patch format only deal with lines (regardless of endings) and store with consistent line endings.

Then again, I only develop in UNIX, so my opinion may not be very important.
