Hello,

I'm using git in an environment with files having dos or unix line
ending. I apply patches using 'git format-patch ... | git am ...'.
A change in git-mailsplit in commit c2ca1d79 introduced a change in
the default behaviour of git-mailsplit when splitting mbox patches. It
makes dos line endings to unix line endings. With this behaviour it is
impossible to apply patches, because there is no possibility to
forward '--keep-cr' through git-am to git-mailsplit.

The following patches introduce the '--kepp-cr' parameter to git-am an
an additional possibility to set '--keep-cr' via configuration for
git-mailsplit. Also I added missing description for '--keep-cr' of
git-mailsplit.

Stefan-W. Hahn (4):
  git-mailsplit: Show parameter '--keep-cr' in usage and documentation
  git-mailsplit: add `mailsplit.keep-cr` configuration variable.
  git-am: Add command line parameter `--keep-cr` passing it to
    git-mailsplit.
  Adding test for `--keep-cr` for git-mailsplit and git-am.
