I visited a remote file with DOS line endings over SSH, added a line and
saved. The file still has \r\n at every line, but now Emacs reports
"Unix-style LF" as the line-ending style; if I add more text and save
again, the line endings are converted to \n.
Something similar happens with remote files in iso-latin-1. After
saving, they're converted to utf-8-unix. I noticed this in `git diff`: it reported changes in some non-ASCII text that I hadn't touched, which was surprising.
Neither problem occurs with local files.
