If you want this, simply run this on your Windows computer:

git config --global core.autocrlf true

Job done. The repo will record LF, but you'll get CRLF on the Windows
box. Alternatively, if you're happy with LF on Windows, but want
protection against accidentally checking in a CRLF:

git config --global core.autocrlf input

Either way, this means that line endings get folded to LF for consistency.
