As the primary point of no-index mode was to expose fancy options
"git diff" has to comparisons of files outside version control,
without having to go through the trouble of upstreaming changes to
GNU diff, I do think "--ignore-cr-at-eol" should work fine with it,
and René's idea sounds like the best implementation for the
test-text-cmp helper command.

Thanks.
