Do we use CRLF anywhere or do we always use LF everywhere and only adding
the CRLF when
archiving as .zip?  If we do use CRLF anywhere, can there be a mixture of
LF and CRLF in the
same file?  (I expect not)

What about .bat files?  I would expect those to always have CRLF, no?  Git
has a config
file called .gitattributes [1] which allows to set the ending according to
the file type (pattern), e.g.

    *.bat    text eol=crlf

Another option to consider is core.eol [2].

Thanks,

Igal
