Hi Chris: For our svn repository there are no text files with fixed Unix or Windows line endings. Instead, they are all native, i.e., they are converted to/from the proper line endings for the given platform on checkout or commit. >From my reading (look at the documentation of repository properties available when you run the git help config command) git has a property for text files called core.eol, and native is the default for that property. So as long as we don't fiddle with that default (and Hazen's tests of the PLplot git repository he created were reassuring on that point), then all our text files will have the correct native treatment of line endings. Therefore, we should never run into the problem you described that occurs if fixed (either Unix or Windows) line endings are used instead of native line endings unless someone goes out of their way (e.g., by fiddling with the core.eol configuration property for the repository) to allow text files with fixed line endings.
