It is not wrong to say "Strip CR from the CRLF".
In Git we often talk about "convert CRLF into LF",

The comment somewhat different to the function name.
The function namd and the name of the parameters can be more in
in line with existing strbuf functions:
(And the opening '{' should go into it's own line:

static void convert_crlf_to_lf(struct strbuf *sb, size_t len)
{
	size_t i, j;

An even more generic approach (could be done in a seperate commit)
would be to move the whole function into strbuf.c/strbuf.h,
and it may be called like this.

void strbuf_crlf_to_lf(struct strbuf *sb, size_t len)
{
  /* I would even avoid "i" and "j", and use src and dst or so) */
  size_t src_pos, dst_idx;
}

Thanks for working on this.
