Provided that it works always, while I *have* seen it fail to work.
And yes, I too hope that I somehow got it wrong in my testing, and it 
looks like the only way I will ever be able to convince you lot is if I 
can reproduce the issue again, and you can see it yourself, despite the 
fact that, in all logic, -crlf would solve our issue and wouldn't 
require anybody testing the wonderful mysteries of git's line ending 
conversions.

Oh, and I guess since there were a lot of crlf changes in git lately, 
even if I can reproduce my original issue, you guys will ask me to 
upgrade, because who knows, it might be a git bug, and then all we'll 
have to do is ask ALL our users to upgrade their git to a version that 
is less than 6 months old...

Again, going with -crlf would not require any of that (unless git 
introduced a bug then fixed it), but sure, once again, let's waste our 
efforts figuring out how git works when, with -crlf, we could move on to 
doing more productive things.
