Sorry for being unclear. No, when you notice that git thinks you've made
changes when you think it shouldn't, then you look at the differences
git sees (`git diff`) and see if the differences are the line endings.
This is the first step.

If the behaviour is triggered by line endings changing you'll have to
decide then what to do about it to avoid it in the future.
