 * 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.

Ok.  I'll start with cleaning up the first approach tomorrow and
send resend the patch.

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.

I'll work on creating an improved installer that installs only a
subset of the commands.  I'll exclude commands that are not yet
ready for Windows (e.g.  git-svn, ...).

After we have the first version of this installer we can further
discuss if we leave the preview phase.
