Here's what happens - someone checks in CRLF files on Windows. Then I 
check out the repository on Linux. Now, git status claims that these 
files are "different" on Linux and need checking in again.

There really is no hope for this, other than ensuring that all source 
files checked in are LF, nor CRLF, terminated.
