I tried here. I'm in a Mac, it shows that several file changes.

Given the warning messages it looks like it is more related
to CRLF/LF than to UTF-8.

At least here, for example, the listed modified '*.cs' files
are the ones that ends their lines in CRLF. This is, running:

```
file $(git ls-files '*.cs') | grep CRLF | cut -d ':' -f1 | sort
```

shows me the same files as

```
git status '*.cs'
```

You can also see that are some '*.cs' files that are not
CRLF-terminated by running:

```
file $(git ls-files '*.cs') | grep -v CRLF | sort
```

Perhaps a solution is:

- Define a CRLF or LF as a standard
- Convert all the files that don't follow the standard that you
  have chosen to the one that you have chosen
- Declare it in the .gitattributes file

Hope that it helps you!
