Sure, but is the version control system the right tool to do that? I think it'd 
be better to have the test itself confirm the consistency of the data (or 
convert it into the right format at runtime) and not rely on magical 
conversions within the VC tool.

From what I understood, most of these tests would immediately break (due to 
hardcoded offsets) if the line endings were changed.

The branch switching issue (discussed in D124563 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D124563>) is one. We also ran into problems when 
importing this into our version control system (as it did not do the 
.gitattributes conversion) -- although one could say that is not an upstream 
problem...
