I somewhat suspect seriously that the problem is related to this thread:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D124563

I didn't dig into all the details (yet).

===================================
 git show c9a16e8c3d99173c7525e576d78eed571
Drop '* text=auto' from .gitattributes and normalize

 Git wants to check in 'text' files with LF endings, so this changes them
     in the repository but not in the checkout, where they keep CRLF endings.

    Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D124563
--------------------
I don't know, if this was a good change or not.
If folks wants CRLF in their working tree, there are 3 ways to do so:
- Set core.autoclrf to true
- Set core.eol to CRLF
(This works on Windows and Unix)

Or, if everybody should have CRLF in the working tree,
we could (and should) still have LF in the repo.

Just set

*myfiles.cpp text=auto eol=crlf

In other words
(I may be wrong due a lack of time to dig deeper into the llvm repo)
the problem seems to come from upstream.

And we could find out, what upstream really wants and needs,
and may be able to help here.

Is this maybe something you can do, contact upstream ?
