I think the right thing to do is:

 * If the repository data is _supposed_ to have CRLF endings (e.g. check
   with core.crlf or something), strip \r and do not show them.

 * Otherwise, i.e. if the repository data is supposed _not_ to have CRLF
   endings, do show these '\r'.  Annoyance here is a *feature* to remind
   the viewer that the contents needs _fixing_.

 * No other switches.
