I don't use Windows very often and the MSYS2, MinGW, msysgit, & Cygwin project history and overlap is *complicated* to say the least. It seems the Git-for-Windows userland comes from both MSYS2 and MinGW [1]. sed and awk come from MSYS2 and the carriage return conversion is indeed documented [2]. [1] https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra#msys2 [2] https://www.msys2.org/wiki/How-does-MSYS2-differ-from-Cygwin/#runtime It looks like the auto-CR conversion is well-tread, and well-flamed, territory. I'd prefer not to reignite that but I filed an issue to start a discussion. That issue also details the history behind this behavior for anyone interested: https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/2315
