I prefer to convert source files and text files to Stream LF files as 
part of kitting a release, and that particular issue goes alway.

Mostly.

Most OpenVMS apps will read Stream LF, but some apps do prefer not to 
create that file format by default.

Which means reworking the OpenVMS environment to work around that.

With some of the available source code control tools, it's possible to 
convert the sequential file format during check-in, as well as running 
a pretty-printer on source files.

It'd be nice if the OpenVMS vGit git client flagged VFC and other 
~incompatible file formats or reported and converted those files before 
upload, but—not having verified this—I'd tend to assume it does not.
