Modifying the commit in-flight is considered bad practice that will lead
to heartache. Search the archives for details.

The standard way to handle this situation is to have your pre-commit
hook check for incorrect line endings and reject commits with those
bogus line endings. The rejection should contain a useful error message
(that will probably include instructions on how to use dos2unix).
