Activision's Perl generates CRLF unless STDOUT is binmoded, which is
inconsistent with other output of git-status.

I assume none _sane_ can want CRLF as line-ending...

Well, if it's a text file we probably should use platform-native line-ending,
and at least be tolerant of \r\n.

Of course, here is the problem: git on Windows runs only using cygwin. You 
can specify the line ending behaviour of cygwin (I think it is an env 
variable). Activision Perl, being independent of cygwin, does not care 
about that setting.

So, to be accurate, you'd have to check what *cygwin* expects, and 
depending on that execute binmode(STDOUT) or not.
