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.

That would be rather useful, because without a way to reproduce, you leave 
me with a rather frustrating situation.

Hth,
