These are not different, but equal. "Do no harm to the contents of

That is only true until someone edits the file in an editor which
prefers the wrong end-of-line marker, and converts to it when saving.
It will be obvious that this has happened if the user does a "git
diff" before committing, but I think the intent of nos. 1 and 2 is for
git to automatically convert the line endings back instead of kicking
up a fuss.
Might be too magical, though.
