The major competing solutions git seeks to supplant (cvs, cvsnt, svn, 
hg) have capability to recognize "text" files and transparently replace 
\r\n with \n on input, the reverse on output, and ignore all such 
differences on diff operations.

Agree with transformations on input and output; disagree on diff.

I wonder if this could/should be solved with adding some option to git-diff,
similar to --ignore-space-change and --ignore-all-space...

It could be done, but those options were introduced for CRLF breakage in 
the first place.

You need --ignore-crlf-breakage? Just holler.

Ciao,
