That is only true until someone edits the file in an editor which prefers the wrong end-of-line marker, and converts to it when saving. It will be obvious that this has happened if the user does a "git diff" before committing, but I think the intent of nos. 1 and 2 is for git to automatically convert the line endings back instead of kicking up a fuss.

Might be too magical, though.
