Jens,
Even if Git can't do CRLF/LF translation on a file it will still store
and track the content of it it just fine. In fact you probably want
translation completely disabled in this case. 

(Given that you seem to be working on a Mac I suspect that "disabled" is
likely the default setting for that configuration item.)
