Why does checking in a Little-endian file convert it to Big-endian by default?

Why can't the Eclipse client in RTC 4.0.4 on Windows 7 automatically detect the endianity of a file?  We have to explicitly set the endianity every time we check in a little-endian text file. If we don't the check-in converts the file to big-endian. Every other program on our PCs knows the endianity of the file, why doesn't RTC?  Can we have a "Check in and don't change the file" command please?

Perhaps I should call this a bug, and see if it can be fixed that way.
