No, there isn't. But perhaps you can use WordPad instead of Notepad? There
are reports that this worked.

You could also write a wrapper script that transforms the file before it
calls Notepad on it (untested):

   #!/bin/bash
   sed -e $'s/\r?$/\r/' < "$1" > .git/tmp$$ &&
   mv .git/tmp$$ "$1" &&
   notepad "$1"

I think git commit removes the trailing CRs automatically, so they don't
end up in the commit message.
