However, I see Junio's point: on sane platforms you have to work hard to 
get CR-damaged files.  And the regular sane platform user should not be 
punished for the brain/CR damage a certain monopolist has brought over 
this planet.

That wasn't hard at all :) Eclipse did it all by itself for JEE MANIFEST.MF files.
We got into some strange problems on windows with msysgit after that where git
(status) detected the files as changed, but no actual content change and refused
to change it's mind. I think we had actually fixed the files on Windows prior to that.
Only after converting the checkout to autocrlf=input did msysgit enter a sane state
again. I was not able to repeat the problem at the time.

Maybe I'll try again in a few weeks time.
