- CRLF conversion is never performed. On Windows you should thereforc
make sure your projects and workspaces are configured to save files
with Unix (LF) line endings.
- CRLF conversion is performed depending on the core.autocrlf setting,
however Git for Windows by default stores that setting during
installation in the "system wide" configuration file. If Git is not
installed, use the global or repository configuration for the
core.autocrlf setting.

- The system wide configuration file is located relative to where C
Git is installed. Make sure Git can be found via the PATH
environment variable. When installing Git for Windows check the "Run
Git from the Windows Command Prompt" option. There are other options
like the jgit.gitprefix system propety or Eclipse settings that can
be used for pointing out where C Git is installed. Modifying PATH is
the recommended option if C Git is installed.

- We try to use the same notation of $HOME as C Git does. On Windows
this is often not same value as the user.home system property.
