How does one pronounce the words in this constant? Does it make a
listener understand what this constant means?

This makes me seriously wonder if it is a good idea to modify this
function like this. (1) means this function is not about IN INDEX
at all!
Perhaps add a "static int blob_has_cr(const unsigned char *sha1)"
and call it from the real caller you added that wants to call this
butchered two-param version that has sha1 is a better solution?

I think this change is too ugly. The new "sha1" parameter is
telling us that "in order to see if the indexed version has CR, do
not look at the index, but look at the contents of this blob".
But wouldn't the result become more understandable if instead we
passed a new parameter "cr-state-for-conversion" that takes UNKNOWN,
HAS_CR, or NO_CR to this function?
In other words, what if, when the caller knows it does not care
what's in the index but wants to instead see if a different blob has
CR, we make it the caller's responsibility to figure it out by
calling blob_has_cr() before calling into this codepath and pass the
result of that check down? When cr-state-for-conversion is UNKNOWN,
this code knows that it needs to call has_cr_in_index(path) to
figure it out itself. Otherwise, it can and should use the
caller-supplied value without asking has_cr_in_index(path).
