Recurring npm warning in Jade displayed upon running `git add .` in a node + express directory

Question

I started a new Express directory and ran git add . to add it to source control. When I did, I go the following errors:

$ express -c stylus
$ sudo npm install -d
$ git init
$ git add .

How can I suppress these? Should I fix the problem or ignore it?

@JonathanLonowski, I tried running `$ git config --global core.autocrlf input` on my Mac OSX and repeated the above steps. I still got the same warnings. — Eric Baldwin, Sep 04 '14 at 04:21
@JonathanLonowski, as for the second link, I appreciate being schooled on git's use of CRLF and LF but I asked this question to document these errors' presence in `Jade`. It's the only `node.js` model throwing it so I'm looking for a Jade-specific answer. Are you suggesting StackOverflow is not the right venue for this request? — Eric Baldwin, Sep 04 '14 at 04:28

This cannot solve the problem, but it looks like the Jade developers will not fix this issue - https://github.com/visionmedia/jade/issues/1128

If they wanted to, they could run $ git config --global core.autocrlf input locally to stop the error from being produced.
