Somehow to me "prefilter" does not sound to convey what really is going on
here, though.

"Doubleconvert" doesn't really mean anything either though, and
"convert" and "normalise" are too generic. I think the problem is
that there's no existing name for what convert.c does.

I chose "filter" because of the filter property; the crlf and ident
things can be regarded as built-in filters.  -- Eyvind

What about `merge.renormalize' ;-) ?

Best so far! Or what about "merge.canonicalize"? Sorry for bikeshedding :)
