Configure Visual Studio with UNIX end of lines?

Hi, We would want to have Visual Studio 2005 working on a local copy of a SVN repository; this local copy has been checked out by Mac OS X (and updates and commits will only be made under Mac OS X, so no problem with that), and as a consequence the end of lines are UNIX.

Creating project from existing IIS/ASP.NET website, building stuff

How to specify Visual Studio Team Explorer collection on start-up?

This is with VS and TFS 2010. I have multiple TFS servers and multiple collections. When I launch VS, it connects to the "last used" collection.
