.gitk CR-LF line ending triggers git warning

Why does ".gitk" use CR-LF line endings instead of just LF?  

I am experimeinting with using "git" to track changes to my home directory. 
When I try to commit ".gitk", "git" complains that ".gitk" has trailing
whtiespace.

I can work around the "trailing whitespace" warning.  But I was curious why
".gitk" is using Windows style CR-LF iine termination, whem ".bashrc", etc.,
use UNIX style CR line termination.

Sincerely,
Matt Seitz
