I wouldn't call it a 'happy' mix :-)   Cuis source code can include CR but
it is a bit ugly in editor windows.

Use LF, it makes for a more pleasant editing experience and is more git
friendly. IIRC, there is a git repo setting (primarily used by Windows
developers) you can use to make it work better with CR but that's not what
we typically do.  Just as an FYI, I believe git will technically work with
CR but the diffs will be ugly as it will treat chunks of files as one big
line until it hits a LF.
