MDK-ARM V5 generator uses the wrong line endings(CRLF and not LF)

[vix]

I've beenm struggling against some issues related to line-ending (CRLF vs LF) and git repos shared between different developers.

And I discovered that MDK-ARM V5 generator in STM32CubeMX 6.6.1 under Windows generates the uvprojx file with the wrong line endings.

Probably it uses the native Windows CRLF, but Keil documentation (see https://www.keil.com/appnotes/files/apnt_279.pdf) clearly states that

The project files uvprojx and uvoptx have UNIX-style line endings (LF).

I confirm that if I work in Keil uVision, the uvprojx file created by uVision uses LF on Windows too.

And so I use .gitattributes to configure git so that uvprojx files keep LF when checked-out to working dir in Windows too (line endings in "standard" text files are changed to CRLF on checkout).

The same happens to the uvprojx genertaed by STM32CubeMX.

But if I re-generate it, the file is generating using CRLF and so git show the file as modified.

Is it possible having it fixed in the next STM32CubeMX release?
