Looking good @mbaluda -- this is working with the exception that by default it changes the line endings from LF -> CRLF. I think just specifying the line ending type will fix it. Git normalizes files but I am not sure if we want the python script to un-normalize line endings? When you do a git diff it shows up as changed when running it on an existing rule.
