Why do you say that (without justification I might add <wink>) about
this issue?

I think you have been mis-reading this thread. It is quite clear what
'doing something' means in this context - it means implement the
human-defined rules for the line-ending policy for the repository.

I'm afraid you have lost me again, as clearly we don't agree on what
useful things can be done at local commit time.

Fair enough - but it seems clear to enough of us that we can make
progress and meet the requirements of the people actually impacted.

Sorry about that - but that was the only way I could explain you not
seeing how such a solution can work.
