I'm opening this issue because:

• npm is crashing.
• npm is producing an incorrect install.
• npm is doing something I don't understand.
• Other (see below for feature requests):

What's going wrong?

When having a checkout of a package.json + package-lock.json on a Windows machine with git "core.autocrlf=true", then all files will have CRLF line endings. Now, when running "npm install", then npm thinks that the line endings of package.json + package-lock.json should be replaced with pure LF. This is bad, as git now thinks there are changes to the files, while in fact there are none (only line endings):

And the same is true for IntelliJ:
