If it were me (and I hope it will be, soon, if we can entirely shut
down svn internally), I would prefer to use git-filter-branch to go
through *all* my checkins and fix up the CRLFs in all of them.  That
way the history will be clean and diffs/annotates/merges will go more
smoothly.

Does anyone know the most efficient way to do this with
git-filter-branch, when there are already thousands of files in the
repo with CRLF in them?  Running dos2unix on all the files for every
single revision could take a *very* long time.

Have fun,

Avery
