I think this is a good change. But it only covers the part where we
translate CR -> LF when staging changes. With Eyvind's patches, if
I understand correctly, it will be possible to convert files to
have LF line endings. Such files will be translated from LF -> CR
when adding changes.

So if the file already has LF line endings, will this cause the
same problem the other way around?
