Wait a second... suppose a file is committed with CRLF line endings. You're saying that even if I have autocrlf set to "input" or "auto", the file will never get "converted" to LF format unless I explicitly renormalize? That sounds like a fairly sensible behavior, but it's not what I've observed in the past at all! There have been plenty of times when I had "autocrlf" set to input which resulted in me changing line endings on commit I had no intention of changing! Indeed, the whole reason I was looking at the git docs recently is that this happened again and I was trying to make it stop happening! Or is that not what you meant?
