This was the error that I was getting. Changing the core.autocrlf
property fixed this for me.

Great! Could you submit a patch for this?

I run it when testing my patches on Windows, as I can't get the
crosstest target to build on my Windows dev machine (and don't want to
continually switch between Linux and Windows when developing the
patches - only for testing the results).

I would like to rework the msvcmaker tool. Specifically:

    1.  Generate VC 2002/3/5/8 vcproj and sln files directly, as well
as dsp files.

    2.  Add support for RC targets (some tests, e.g. user32 need this to build).

    3.  Add support for IDL targets (some tests need this to build).

There may be more, but that is the general direction.
