### Please describe the problem.
I have created a git-annex via Windows. If I use sshfs to mount this
onto a Linux server, and then setup a new remote, I encounter the
error:
fatal: cannot run hooks/post-receive: No such file or directory
I've already identified that, due to the Windows created repository,
the script uses crlf line-endings. And of course, the Linux kernel
interprets the carriage-return as a trailing component of the shebang
#!/bin/sh^M
and obviously can't find the executable.
I've already worked around this by using a binfmt_misc approach
workaround, registering the shebang with ^M to trigger a wrapper
script. But I'm seeking the permanent fix of git-annex creating these
hooks with unix line-endings only. I think it's fair to say, there's
currently no approach that allows hooks to be in any other form than
unix scripts, and I'm happy to stand corrected, that it makes little
sense to have any other line-endings.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Run git annex sync against a Windows created remote git-annex, however
that is mounted, on a Linux/unix host.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
$ git annex version
git-annex version: 8.20210223
on a Debian bullseye operating system.
### Please provide any additional information below.

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Yes. I think git-annex is a hidden gem of the open source
community.
