Slightly misleading description of line endings in Git

The "culprit" is the fact that Git adds an invisible character at the end of every line. This is how Git tracks changes. (More info [here](https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/).)

Line endings ("invisible characters") aren't added by Git; they're always there, whether you're in a Git repo or not. Most people don't notice them under normal circumstances because their text editors handle it seamlessly. It only comes up with Git because, by default, Git considers "stuff\r\n" and "stuff\n" to be different lines.

(These slides are great, by the way!)

Agree and sorry for the late response. (End of term mania.)

Will update the slides. Thanks for the catch!
