Unless we re-define the meaning of "NULL" into "don't do CRLF conversions,
like SAFE_CRLF_KEEP_CRLF does.
My preference is not to use NULL as any hint. Instead, the "flag"
parameter we already pass to convert_to_git(), just like the updated
read_old_data() uses SAFE_CRLF_KEEP_CRLF to tell it that it should
not disturb existing CRLF without looking at the istate, should be
used to tell convert_to_git() to do the opposite, but do so without
looking at the istate.
Perhaps SAFE_CRLF_FALSE should be such a flag. Or perhaps we need
to invent another flag. I dunno.
