Hi,

I have an issue with git-rebase failing on a repository using
     core.autocrlf=true

I've tracked it down to git-am failing with core.autocrlf=true and 
passing with core.autocrlf=false. I've tried digging deeper into the 
code, but for some reason ce_match_stat_basic() (read-cache.c:~187) 
reports the size of the file in the index to be 0 (when 
core.autocrlf=true), which is why git-am bails out on the patch. 
(ce->ce_size == 0, while st->st_size == the correct size on disk)

If I force the bailout in check_patch() (builtin-apply.c:~2101) to 
_not_ happen, the patch applies without problems.

Can anyone please enlighten me on why this may happen?

I've attached a SH script which will reproduce the problem. Simply run
     ./git_am_crlf_testcase.sh
to reproduce the problem, and run
     ./git_am_crlf_testcase.sh --no-crlf
to show it working when core.autocrlf=false.

Thanks for your help!
