Well that shouldn't be a problem, because most unix editors I know or
use adheres to whatever line ending is in the file. So if a Windows
users commits a new file, my system should manage it just fine.

But saying that, by default msysGit uses the Windows line ending style
and committing a new file will then automatically be converted to a
Unix line ending on the Git repository at SourceForge (they run unix
servers there). Line endings for text files are handled correctly
under Git by default, so I don't see the issue.

SubVersion has the exact same problem, so it's not like Git is doing
something stupid. Git has option for handling this issue and with a
default install, the user doesn't need to do anything.
