See git-for-windows@ master...dscho:notepad for my take on it.

@Dirk1966 did you have a chance to look at it yet?

Hi Dscho,
I looked at your script, it is very short and should do all what you want.
👍
I think "git for Windows 1" does not have dos2unix and unix2dos, at least I looked at somebody which installation did not have this.
Even if I can understand you want avoid using perl, a
perl -p -i -e 's/\n$/\r\n/g'
and
perl -p -i -e 's/\r\n$/\n/g'
should be able to replace dos2unix and unix2dos and are usable from old installations too. I got a message from dos2unix that it created an intermediate file.

Thanks for the confirmation! I am pretty certain that dos2unix does not, in fact, leave a temporary file, but if it does, I will use the perl invocation you suggested.

dos2unix does not leave a temporary file, but it uses one.

Do you know that for a fact? Or is this something you heard about?
