I don't know the problem you're going to fix for JOSM here (I didn't see 
any mails with problems ;-), but Subversion may be able to help you here.

At the Wireshark project, we set the subversion eol-style=native 
property of each source file. This will automatically set the line 
endings to the style of the machine "checking out" the source code and 
convert it to the server format while committing. Obviously, you 
shouldn't do this for binary files like .png - this will probably break 
them.

All in all, this is working pretty well if you have both Unix/Linux and 
Windows developers!

If that's the way to go for JOSM and you need further details please 
just let me know ...
