A kinda dim-witted question:

So what's the best way of "fixing once and for all" a repo infected with carriage returns when you want to use autocrlf=true moving forward?

And a hopefully less annoying one:

Would you accept a patch explaining how "git reset --hard" doesn't actually rebuild the index from scratch, and how "git read-head" might be recommended in some weird situations?
