git-apply can't apply patches to CRLF-files

Hello, 

git-apply can't apply the patch to file with windows-style CRLF line endings, even if the patch was generated by git-format-patch.

Is this a bug or known deficiency?

The following script reproduces the problem --------- #!/bin/sh set -e mkdir trash cd trash git init-db echo "abc" > a unix2dos a git add a git commit -m "a added" a echo "cde" >> a unix2dos a git commit -m "a modified" a git format-patch HEAD^ git reset --hard HEAD^ git am 0001*.txt ---------

The resulting output is --------- $ ./test defaulting to local storage area a: done. Committing initial tree 357c56061b96c1548b15168bc0d02e8d1a319e0b a: done. 0001-a-modified.txt

Applying 'a modified'

error: patch failed: a:1 error: a: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001. When you have resolved this problem run "git-am --resolved". If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git-am --skip". ---------

If I remove unix2dos calls and so the file has normal unix LF line endings, then the result is correct as expected

--------- $ ./test defaulting to local storage area Committing initial tree 6afc8719a182fed19980da0e53d13fba1f94dd3f 0001-a-modified.txt
