Well, my patch does not document nor enhance the documentation
about EOL normalization per se.

Before `git worktree` the description was correct. So what about this
subject and body:

----
doc: fix location of index while normalizing EOLs

When line endings are normalized in a second worktree, a plain
`rm .git/index` does not actually delete the index. Fix the
documentation by using `git read-tree --empty` instead.
