Apparently, the conflict information Git writes to the working copy
during merge doesn't respect core.autocrlf, magically converting files
to LF and causing problems when you try to commit the files, when
core.safecrlf is on.

I'm in the process of making a patch, but I'm having difficulty getting
builtin-merge-file.c and convert.c to play together. Part of the problem
is the lack of documentation in convert.c, which I'd also like to fix
(but in a different patch).

So, here's an appeal to the Git gods:

* Should I even bother trying to document this? While good docs are
always a definite plus, poor documentation can hurt code.

* Would crlf_to_worktree (apparently an internal function) or
convert_to_working_tree be more appropriate for this task?

* Where can I get a sensible value for *path in convert.c from
builtin-merge-file.c?

Thanks!
