[PATCH v2 0/6] replacing strbuf_getline_lf() by strbuf_getline() on trimmed input

This series deals with strbuf_getline_lf() in certain codepaths: Those, where the input that is read, is/was trimmed before doing anything that could possibly expect a CR character. Those places can be assumed to be "text" input, where a CR never would be a meaningful control character.

The purpose of this series is to document these places to have this property, by using strbuf_getline() instead of strbuf_getline_lf(). Also in some codepaths, the CR could be a leftover of an editor and is thus removed.

Every codepath was examined, if after the change it is still necessary to have trimming or if the additional CRLR-removal suffices.

The series is an idea out of [1], where Junio proposed to replace the calls to strbuf_getline_lf() because it 'would [be] a good way to document them as dealing with "text"'. Changes since v1:

* adapting the behaviour of sq_(de)quote to be a one-to-one transformation
* removing some unneccesary trimming calls in:
    * wt-status.c
    * builting/notes.c
    * builtin/clean.c
    * bisect.c
