Re: [PATCH 2/2] merge-file: consider core.crlf when writing merge markers

> From: Beat Bolli <dev+git@drbeat.li>
> 
> When merging files in repos with core.eol = crlf, git merge-file inserts
> just a LF at the end of the merge markers. Files with mixed line endings
> cause trouble in Windows editors and e.g. contrib/git-jump, where an
> unmerged file in a run of "git jump merge" is reported as simply "binary
> file matches".

> Fixing this improves merge-file's behavior under Windows.

> The original version of this patch also modified ll_merge(), but that
> was incorrect: low-level merge operates on blobs, not on working files.
> Therefore, the data passed to the low-level merge, as well as its
> result, is expected to have LF-only line endings.

> It is the duty of ll_merge()'s *caller* (in case of Git's `merge`
> command, the merge_content() function) to convert the merge result into
> the correct working file contents, and ll_merge() should not muck with
> line endings at all.
