The problem happens without git conversion as well (because Emacs
defaults to "dos" encoding on windows-nt systems):

emacs -Q -f toggle-debug-on-error
C-x C-f test-package.el ;; (visit a non-existing file)

insert the following text

    ;;; michael-theme.el --- Emacs theme with a dark background and bright 
colors for use with a projector.

    ;; Author: Michael
    ;; Version: 0.1
    ;; Keywords: michael theme

    ;;; michael-theme.el ends here

C-x C-s
M-x package-install-file test-package.el RET

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Package lacks a \"Version\" or 
\"Package-Version\" header")
  signal(error ("Package lacks a \"Version\" or \"Package-Version\" header"))
  error("Package lacks a \"Version\" or \"Package-Version\" header")
