Re: turn off "LF will be replaced by CRLF" thingy

["Zorba" <cr@altmore.co.uk>]

Hi David & thanks for helping me out,

So I tried again to do

$ git add .

this time no warnings about CRLF / LF, in fact no output, so not sure if it 
did anything (though took some time to process)

$ git status

Shows all the files in the index ok, but I don't know if it was the first 
git add or the second (post CRLF=false config change) that put them there 
....

I'd like to be certain, as 500 out of 5000 files could just get changed here 
!

I know I could just delete everything in .git dir, and git init again

But I'm after the intelligent way to do this :-(
