sourcetree, git and line endings on windows (and visual studio)

sourcetree modifies line endings in an unwanted way. i noticed this behaviour at least 6 months ago, so it's quite an old bug.

in the first round i tried to resolve it here:

repro:

i have a file in stash, that has only one hunk in it. i will attach stashed patch, and few versions of the modified file.

1) clean repository:
$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp
/d/src/lib/onExit.cpp: C++ source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
2) apply stash:
$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp
/d/src/lib/onExit.cpp: C++ source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
3) select green line
discard green line by clicking at 'discard lines'
$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp
/d/src/lib/onExit.cpp: C++ source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
4) discard hunk
$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp
/d/src/lib/onExit.cpp: C++ source, ASCII text, with CRLF, LF line terminators
