For files in text mode, translation of '\n' to local line ending is done automatically within libc. On Windows, this is translated to CR+LF. This behavior is correct.

Forcing all platforms to use LF is not the way to go.

If there is a problem with line-endings in git, this must be solved in git, e.g using the text attribute in .gitattributes.
