add: introduce "--renormalize"
Make it safer to normalize the line endings in a repository.
Files that had been commited with CRLF will be commited with LF.
The old way to normalize a repo was like this:
# Make sure that there are not untracked files
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git read-tree --empty
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
The user must make sure that there are no untracked files,
otherwise they would have been added and tracked from now on.
The new "add --renormalize" does not add untracked files:
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git add --renormalize .
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
Note that "git add --renormalize <pathspec>" is the short form for
"git add -u --renormalize <pathspec>".
While at it, document that the same renormalization may be needed,
whenever a clean filter is added or changed.
