I was answering a question on StackOverflow recently about the
interaction between text=auto and eol, and someone pointed out to me
that what I had written, which was based on the documentation, was not
correct as of Git 2.10 (and more specifically 6523728499 ("convert:
unify the "auto" handling of CRLF", 2016-06-28)).
When I set out to document the behavior correctly, I ran into the fact
that the tests, where I looked for examples of how this behaves, didn't
have any tests for some of these cases, and so I had some trouble
documenting this clearly and accurately. So this series basically just
adds some tests for existing behavior so we don't change it (and so I
could figure out how it works) and then updates the documentation
accordingly.
Changes from v1:
* Correct documentation inaccuracy with respect to text=auto.
