Yes.

# Remove everything from the index.
git rm --cached -r .

# Write both the index and working directory from git's database.
git reset --hard

# Prepare to make a commit by staging all the files that will get 
normalized.
# This is your chance to inspect which files were never normalized. 
You should
# get lots of messages like: "warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in 
file."
git add .

# Commit
git commit -m "Normalize line endings"

The painful part is you'll need to execute this for every git 
submodule :(
