As you mention TortoiseGit is frontend for git so I installed needed  
git package from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ .
I used native endline conversion option at setup time, there is also  
option use unix endlines or not touch it but they are for other  
scenarios.
Option for automatic endline conversion is set in TortoiseGit.
I created git repository of whole scummvm repositories on unix and  
cloned into windows git repository.
After that I check all kinds of types of files if there are any not  
properly detected files.
I found all text files and binary files are properly detected, and  
conversion happen when needed.
There is one thing which I'm not sure if one kind of files should be  
converted or not, but I think not.
In "web-planet\code\planetvenus\examples\filters\guess-language" there  
are two files: "en.data" and "fr.data".
In that files conversion happen. If it's wrong, still not much  
important files, which I guess they are not used by us.

I'll do more tests like basic and later more advanced operations on  
branches.
