Nothing I can think of, other than using customized commit templates, which I suspect is a bit overkill and at the same time misses the point for this use case.

No, there isn't. But perhaps you can use WordPad instead of Notepad? There are reports that this worked.
You could also write a wrapper script that transforms the file before it calls Notepad on it (untested):
#!/bin/bash sed -e $'s/\r?$/\r/' < "$1" > .git/tmp$$ && mv .git/tmp$$ "$1" && notepad "$1"
I think git commit removes the trailing CRs automatically, so they don't end up in the commit message.
