This time with doc updates and tests. The previous one is at

A change that is supposed to only change the end-of-line convention between LF <-> CRLF and nothing else can be verified with "diff -b" or "diff --ignore-space-at-eol" in practice, but these hide changes in whitespaces other than the carriage return at the end of the lines.
These two patches introduce a new --ignore-cr-at-eol option so that only CR at eol and no other whitespace changes are ignored while making a comparison, to allow a stricter validation.
I am not sure how much practical value the new option has. The preliminary clean-up patch to shuffle the bis assignment for flags does have values, though ;-).
Junio C Hamano (2): xdiff: reassign xpparm_t.flags bits diff: --ignore-cr-at-eol
