I'm moving a git repository from my Linux machine to a Windows machine. I was hoping to just move the entire directory tree and find that things will "just work." Is this the case? Do I need to do anything about line endings?

You can clone a repository from GitHub.com to your local computer to make it easier to fix merge conflicts, add or remove files, and push larger commits. When you clone a repository, you copy the repository from GitHub.com to your local machine.
Yes you can, but there's no need to copy the full working tree. You can copy just the . git folder without the working tree (i.e. as a "bare" repo) and then checkout the latest working tree on the other machine.
You don't even need the entire directory structure, just grab the .git directory and move it to your windows machine. Then run "git reset --hard" and it should rebuild the rest of the directory structure for you.

Why don't you "git pull" the repo?
PS: Of course - "git clone" it (first). Point is: every git-repo is as valid as its clones.
