A couple of source files got checked into my code base with DOS-style
end-of-line characters. I converted them to UNIX-style (the convention
for this project) in my branch. Then later, I renamed a couple of them.
Meanwhile, back in the original branch, someone else fixed a bug in one
of the files and checked it in, still with DOS-style line endings.
When I merged that change into my branch, git didn't detect the rename
because the fact that every line has a change (the end-of-line
character) dropped the similarity score way too low.
This patch teaches git to ignore end-of-line style when looking for
potential rename candidates. A separate question, which I expect may be
more controversial, is what to do with conflict markers; with this
patch, the entire file is still marked as in conflict if the end-of-line
style changes (but it's still an improvement in that we at least detect
the rename now.)
