It was at this very time that I fixed this; since then git takes care of this automatically upon check out (by using LF within the repo and converting this to the right OS-dependent style upon check out). This is done via a configuration in .gitattributes which causes git to do the conversion upon check out.

If you now happen to check out one of those few commits between the changed configuration in .gitattributes (753a0c7d) and the fix for PatternValidator (62bd06a3), git will change the line ending style and give you the changes you see in your working copy. To abandon that state, you can e.g. do a "git checkout --force master".
