 * crlf (Steffen Prohaska and Dmitry Potapov)

I am working on an alternative to the patch I sent last week. I hope I 
can present the two approaches soon.

The first approach is a lazy check in crlf_to_git() that warns about an 
irreversible conversion; or dies if safecrlf=true.  This is relatively 
simple code but at least for git-add a workaround is needed to suppress 
printing a warning twice.  The runtime overhead is negligible.

The second approach adds a new machinery is_worktree_crlfsafe()
that could be run independently of the crlf_to_git() conversion.

From the sound of it, I like the first approach much better.

I do not expect that this topic will be ready for 1.5.4.

What with our ongoing discussion when to go out of preview phase for 
msysGit, I think this makes sense.

Ciao,
