Recommended action: Mark binary types -text (or 'binary') in .gitattributes, or for a throwaway checkout override attributes (e.g. a local .git/info/attributes with '* -text' or '* text=auto') before checking out; alternatively use prebuilt images.
Option: Disable EOL conversion for the checkout [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Automated checkouts of third-party repos at historical commits
Steps:
1. echo '* -text' > .git/info/attributes (local, uncommitted override)
2. git checkout -- . (or git reset --hard)
3. git checkout <sha>
Expected: Binary files match the index; checkout succeeds
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
