If I insert:

$ rm libusb.dsw
$ git checkout libusb.dsw

at [1], then the working copy is properly updated, and it shows CRLF-only on
the following step.  Moreover, "git status" still shows no changes.  I'm not
sure if this is a git bug, but it is sure as hell annoying.  That said, I
think that means eol=crlf works, provided wherever you switched from didn't
have the setting set differently, or else at least didn't have the file in
question present in the exact same directory.

Note that I did NOT need to remove .git/index or issue a reset command in
order to get this to work.
