Using OS9-type line endings:

This repository is intended to be useful when overlaid right on top of an OS9-type filesystem. If you are using it on a Unix-style system (or a Windows system with the tr utility), you can add the contents of the file gitsetup in the root of this repository to your checkout's .git/config file. If you delete all files in the checkout (that is, all the files not in the .git/ directory) and call git checkout again to get them all back, then all of the text files (mostly source code) will be checked out with CR-only line endings instead of LF for Unix-type systems or CRLF for DOS/Windows-type systems. At this point, you should be able to copy the files over to an OS-9 filesystem without causing trouble for it.
