Git tool shows readme as modified despite no obvious sign of modification #2596

After loading gt4processing with the following code, the repo's readme is marked as being changed, yet there is no evidence of any change when the diff view is opened. I suspect the diffs are wrt line ending (my platform is Windows) which were likely modified by git upon loading, but there is no indication that this is where the file is different.

Metacello new
    baseline: 'Processing';
    repository: 'github://hellerve/gt4processing:main/src';
    load.

Windows 11, GT 0.8.1545

Should there be a mode/view like emacs' whitespace-mode that shows those characters clearly? Would that fix the issue?
