Here is a somwhat shorter description: Apply the "clean" process freshly to all tracked files. This is useful after changing `core.autocrlf` or the `text` attributes in the `.gitattributes` file because Git may not consider these files as changed. Correct the files that had been commited with CRLF, they will from now on have LF instead. Re-run what the `clean` filter does. This option implies `-u`. > > > [snip the TC.
