From: Johannes Schindelin <redacted>

Just like the natural line ending for Unix shell scripts consist of a
single Line Feed, the natural line ending for (DOS) Batch scripts
consists of a Carriage Return followed by a Line Feed.

It seems that both Unix shell script interpreters and the interpreter
for Batch scripts (`cmd.exe`) are keen on seeing the "right" line
endings.
