By the way, one sensible addition to the CG might be to invite Windows
users to do
git config global.autocrlf = false
or something like that (by default under Windows, git converts all
line endings to crlf)
I'm not sure this is advisable, or that the assertion is correct.
Git requires only LF endings in the repository, but Windows uses
CRLF natively.
If autocrlf = true, CRLF endings are converted to LF during commit and
LF endings are converted to CRLF during checkout. This seems
eminently sensible. This is the option I use, seemingly without problem.
Why should you want to turn this off, Valentin?

ps BTW, Macs use just CR natively, which really screw up git for
Windows users if present in the repository, although easy to fix
once understood. Does autocrlf affect this in any way?
