Thank you confirming the Git for Windows default, which I don't believe Stefan had realised was active.

I had responded to Stefan's original 'bug' report as no one had picked up on it, and suspected it (core.safecrlf ) was set in Git for Windows, though wasn't able to immediately check it myself.

I did not think it was a bug at all, merely a misunderstanding by Stefan about the safety features within Git (for Windows).
