Please first read the commit msg below, which is, I hope, self-explanatory, but I want to note a few things.

When searching to see how this issue was addressed in the past, I saw the recommendation was to set git global autocrlf to false. That's inadvisable because it affects checkout/clones of all other repos that the Windows user has. Setting repo local autocrlf to false is preferable but any local edits with CRLF will be merged unchanged.

So the safe alternative to this patch is to set local autocrlf to input for Windows users and document that clearly in both Git How-to and ffmpeg-web.git/src/download. gitattributes will have to track any deliberate CRLF files.
