CRLF in certain files being replaced with LF whenever we execute cordova run browser

[RolandMunsil]

We're all on Windows 10, and running Cordova 8.1.2 ([email protected]).

Whenever any of us run cordova run browser, all of the CRLF newlines* in config.xml and package.json are replaced with LF newlines. Nothing else is modified other than the newlines. To our knowledge we haven't modified any Cordova settings other than installing the android and browser platforms.

*Except for the CRLFs in the <description> field of config.xml

Executing cordova run browserwith --verbose:

Yeah, this is an annoying bug. I did some work to extract what npm uses internally into a library that we can use, but we haven't updated cordova-lib/cordova-common to use it yet.

Ref apache/cordova-common#34

This still happens to me and seems to be reported multiple times... :-(
Let me know if there's something I can do in order to fix this.
