Hi David and Junio. At first, I was planning to reply that I'd probably not be qualified for that. But to tell the truth, I have been writing a lot of CR/LF/CRLF code throughout the years, so maybe I could do it. Unfortunately, I have to go slow about programming, because I burned myself out a number of times, so programming "work" is not compatible with me; though programming "hobby" is.
The implementation would be dependent on on how git is currently handling lines. Worst case is, if it's mixed CR, LF and CRLF, such as a text-file, that contains all 3 kinds of line endings (because 3 different people have been editing the file).
