Subject: core.autocrlf considered half-assed

Hi,

back then, I was not a fan of the core.autocrlf support. But I have to 
admit that in the meantime, I turned into an outright un-fan of the 
feature. Not because its intent is wrong, but because its implementation 
is lousy.

Just try to "git reset --hard" or "git stash" when there are files with 
DOS line endings and when core.autocrlf is not false.

And then despair.

So again, for the record this time: core.autocrlf=true is handled 
_lousily_.

Ciao,
