Poking around -- it looks like the CRLF stripping would be better done in `git mailinfo` after the decoding. Also, this can *almost* be worked around using hooks -- there's an `applypatch-msg` hook which can strip the CLRFs from the commit message, but no hook (AFAICT) corresponding `applypatch-patch` which is run on the patch itself before being applied. -George
