      convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF

Should we mention this change in the release notes?

The handling of "*.text = auto" was changed, and now

    $ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
    has the same effect as
    $ git config core.autocrlf true

Oh, definitely.  Thanks.

Is this `text=auto` correct ?
I think it should be
