Torsten, you've been quite active in fixing various glitches around
the EOL conversion in the latter half of last year.  Have any
thoughts to share on this topic?

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay, being too busy with other things.
I followed the discussion, but didn't have good things to contribute.
I am not an expert in diff.c, but there seems to be a bug, thanks everybody
for digging.

Back to business:

My understanding is that git diff --quiet should be quiet, when
git add will not do anything.

Yes, I think that is a sensible criterion.  What I was interested to
hear from you the most was to double check if Mike's expectation is
reasonable.  Earlier we had a lengthy discussion on what to do when
convert-to-git and convert-to-working-tree conversions do not round
trip, and I was wondering if this was one of those cases.
