Here is what I just did with "commit --amend" (there is no change in the contents of the patch).

    diff: --ignore-cr-at-eol
    
    A new option --ignore-cr-at-eol tells the diff machinery to treat a
    carriage-return at the end of a (complete) line as if it does not
    exist.
    
    Just like other "--ignore-*" options to ignore various kinds of
    whitespace differences, this will help reviewing the real changes
    you made without getting distracted by spurious CRLF<->LF conversion
    made by your editor program.
