Re: Problem with CRLF line endings and colored diff

This is expected and deliberate, as you haven't told about your desire to
consider carriage-returns not as line termination letter.  By default CR
is just one of the whitespace letters, and colored diff output is
reminding you that you introduced a line with a trailing whitespace.

Check git-config(1) and look for "core.whitespace", paying special
attention to "cr-at-eol".

Ah, I see, I didn't know I have to tell it that I want to use
CRLF...  Works fine now.  Sorry for the noise.
