Well, if you use both software that requires CRLF (though kdiff3 in my
experience doesn't) and software that requires LF (bash) on the same
files, there isn't much git can do to solve that conflict.

If it's a different set of files though (i.e. LF for .sh files, CRLF for
source code or whatever), you might benefit from switching to the newer
core.eol mechanism, which allows to override the line endings for
individual files through .gitattributes. Refer to
