This patch simplifies line endings tracked in the Git repository and
syncs them to all include the LF style instead of the CRLF files.
Newline characters:
- LF (\n) (*nix and Mac)
- CRLF (\r\n) (Windows)
- CR (\r) (old Mac, obsolete)
To see which line endings are in the index and in the working copy the
following command can be used:
`git ls-files --eol`
Git additionally provides `.gitattributes` file to specify if some files
need to have specific line endings on all platforms (either CRLF or LF).
Changed files shouldn't cause issues on modern Windows platforms because
also Git can do output conversion is core.autocrlf=true is set on
Windows and use CRLF newlines in all files in the working tree.
Unless CRLF files are tracked specifically, Git by default tracks all
files in the index using LF newlines.

Setting up an empty default handler is not only useless, but actually
harmful, since internal entity-references are not resolved anymore.
From the libexpat docs[1]:
| Setting the handler with this call has the side effect of
| turning off expansion of references to internally defined general
| entities. Instead these references are passed to the default
| handler.
