Ðis blames ðe wrong application. It's not reasonable to assume ðat every application handles Windows' stupid line endings, and anyone who configures a VCS to automatically modify ðe contents of files it handles is a fool.

Many tools convert on checkout by default. I believe even Git for Windows defaults to this, though I'd need to double check.

The correct solution here is to use a .gitattributes file and renormalize the line endings. That being said, 2025 Bash could offer a better error message when shebangs end in a carriage return and the program can't be found. I've run into that enough at work to know what that error is.
