From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> Just like the natural line ending for Unix shell scripts consist of a single Line Feed, the natural line ending for (DOS) Batch scripts consists of a Carriage Return followed by a Line Feed. It seems that both Unix shell script interpreters and the interpreter for Batch scripts (`cmd.exe`) are keen on seeing the "right" line endings.
