Re: [PATCH v1 6/7] correct blame for files commited with CRLF

If we had made the CRLF -> LF conversion, yes. But we don't do that.
crlf_to_git() returns without touching the line endings.

That sounds quite broken.  How would a user ever fix broken data in
the index then?  I know the commit that often appears in these
discussions claims to give us "safer CRLF" handling, but I have a
suspicion that perhaps we should rethink if that claim is really
true.  Isn't it giving us more problems than it is worth?
