title: LF Versus CRLF Line Endings in Windows Batch Files
body: <p>I have a mixed Ubuntu, OS X and Windows git repository containing <code>.bat</code> and <code>.cmd</code> files targeted for use on Windows 7 and greater. <code>core.autocrlf</code> is set to <code>input</code>, and so post-<code>git checkout</code> these files have <code>LF</code> line endings in my working directory instead of the <code>CRLF</code> line-endings I started out with.</p>
  
  <p>Will this cause problems with windows batch execution? In what cases might this difference be significant? I have yet to see any issue but wish to code defensively.</p>
