In msysgit.git/etc/.gitattributes we have 'termcap -crlf', to avoid  
the termcaps being checked out with Windows EOL, if the user  
happens to have 'autocrlf = true'. However, when you checkout the  
working dir the first time it still has Windows EOL due to exactly  
this problem.

And exactly this is where I recognized the issue.

msysgit devs,
We should really make autocrlf = true the default for us and fix
all problems that we'll encounter. There may be more tricky stuff
ahead, like merges, cherry-picks, ...

I'm more leaning towards having the installer give you the option to 
choose what kind of line-endings you want Git to work with; just like 
the Cygwin installer.
