Hi David,

Think I may have spotted a mistake in the RFC:

 Decentralized version control system have some drawbacks:

 *... Snip .. *

 no svn:externals, no svn:eol-style


Later on in the doc, you go into detail about submodules, and CRLF -> LF
support in both Git and Hg.

Thanks,
Kiall
