Do we really care about Notepad? As for Windiff, I am not sure. But there
are tools which works with LF line endings.

Actually I do not understand why we have such a long thread, as Orin and others
have pointed out the LF works for the VStudio. And then binmode is recommended
by Cygwin as pointed by Segher.

So why not make everything LF and do not allow MSysGit to act smart
and convert anything. In that case, everything would be fine. I think this
is the easiest and pragmatic solution.

I use Cygwin git and never have any issues with various git repositories,
some of them cross-platform. I usually use Notepad++ to view text file under
Windows.
