Right now, powershell in Windows writes CRLF when using Out-File. A simple use-case where this fails is when I use

git format-patch HEAD~3 | Out-File patch.patch -Encoding utf8

This outputs files which look ok, but the git apply command can't accept this file, as it as CRLF line endings. So, I'd like Out-File to output files with LF line endings.

This feature might also be useful in linux maybe?
