Yes as I said its not satisfactory but not impossible to manage
Heck Current state of art VCSes cannot even manage mismatching EOL conventions
cleanly.
And as usual they make a virtue out of the lack:
"git stores binary data not text"

can give you a 10,000 line diff!!
You clearly haven’t ever done that.
1. git can manage EOL changing if you want to enforce a newline style that way.
