OK, I think I can safely omit this patch, because

 (1) when 2/2 is queued on top of tb/check-crlf-for-safe-crlf,
     because ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all is not yet in
     the topic, an empty pathspec still means "match all" and
     nothing breaks; and

 (2) when tb/check-crlf-for-safe-crlf plus 2/2 is merged to any
     branch with ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all, the topic
     already fixes what this 1/2 tries to

Thanks for being thorough, though.
