I will suggest you to add a file ".gitattributes" for correct line-breaks by checkout to your repo.
We at https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit started to use a file ".gitattributes" to have correct line-breaks by checkout no matter if you checkout with Windows (CRLF), or with a Unix-like system (LF).
This helps us e.g. by linting and solves some other issues that came up in the past...
For the beginning I created a simple and basic ".gitattributes" file.
In this file is e.g. defined, that NSI & NSH files from NSIS have ever a CRLF as line-break, because NSIS is a Windows installer and therefor Windows line-breaks make IMHO much sense...
After introducing ".gitattributes" we got in some trouble with NsisMultiUser.nsh and UAC.nsh.
I guess the problems come from because the files have no CRLF... (?)
And so I report now this problem upstream (by you) and want suggest you to use a ".gitattributes" for checkout in future, too.
The basic ".gitattributes" I have created is this PR. You can easily edit and improve it, or just use it as it is...
...if you use I will be really happy and thankful!
