Is there a reason you can't use `eol=crlf` instead of a smudge/clean filter? That looks like this in the Git repo:

  *.bat text eol=crlf

That might be an easier way to accomplish what you want and it will always result in CRLF in the working tree, regardless of operating system, even though in the repository it will still use LF[0].

Note that if you need a specific encoding, there's also `working-tree-encoding` as well.

[0] Okay, technically someone can override it with `.git/info/attributes`, but if they do that and it doesn't work, that's their own fault. We don't worry about that case in this project.
