I think it might make more sense to introduce a way to say "do not even 
check; I _know_ that I want crlf on these".

You said I wanted to say in the message in clearer words.  We
are in agreement.

Also the comments to the two patches in this series you sent are
valid; I reworked them before merging to 'next' and pushing them
out yesterday, but I think the Makefile thing still remains.
Will fix up.
