That is just utter pain though. I’ve tried it and I am like NO THANKS! Windows software operates too poorly with Unix software due to different file paths (separators, mounting) and different line endings in text files.

With Mac all your regular Mac software integrates well with the Unix world. XCode is not going to screw up my line endings. I don’t have to keep track of whether I am checking out a file from a Unix or Windows environment.

Your line-ending issue is very easy to fix in git:

`git config --global core.autocrlf true`

That will configure git to checkout files with CRLF endings and change them to plain LF when you commit files.

Eating data is hardly a fix for anything, even if you do it intentionally.
