The test suite is mainly developed on Linux and MacOSX, which is the
reason that nobody thought to mark files as LF-only as needed.
The symptom is a test suite that fails left and right when being checked
out using Git for Windows (which defaults to core.autocrlf=true).
Mostly, the problems stem from Git's (LF-only) output being compared to
hard-coded files that are checked out with line endings according to
core.autocrlf (which is of course incorrect). This includes the two test
files in t/diff-lib/, README and COPYING.
This patch can be validated even on Linux by using this cadence:
git config core.autocrlf true
rm .git/index && git stash
make -j15 DEVELOPER=1 test
