After talking to @rdmarsh2 (the other frequent Windows user within Semmle), we think we want the line endings in the working directory to be LF even on Windows, just so we're always working with files that are identical to what everybody on Linux and OSX are using.

I tested this by adding a new CRLF-style text file to the repo. When I did
