Now that FTE has made the transition from Subversion to Git, use a
.gitattributes file to handle newline conversions between different
platforms.  Normalize all relevant text files.

To normalize your local working copy:
  - Ensure you have a clean working tree (`git stash` can help here),
  - `git pull` to this commit.
  - Delete all files in your working copy (except for .git* files),
  - `git checkout -- .`  This will re-populate your working copy from
    the git repo with newlines appropriate for your platform.

See gitattributes(7) for more details.

Help keep unwanted files/directories from being considered for checkin.
