Yeah, I see it on OSX.  When I follow the "renormalizing" procedure, I get 
  warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in src/report/jqplot/foo.js.
  The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
For all of the files that Mike listed.
Curiously, changing the *.js entry in .gitattributes to crlf and repeating the procedure has no effect.
It appears that you got those js files into the repo with crlf line endings.

git version 1.7.9.6 (Apple Git-31.1)
The "eol" attribute is documented in gitattributes(5)
