If I remove the --ignore-missing option no \r characters appear in the
output, so the checksum file uses Unix line endings.

If I convert the checksum file to DOS line endings with unix2dos I can
see \r line endings in the output.

There is another difference by using --ignore-missing: when using DOS
line endings sha1sum immediately says "no file was verified", without
checking anything; when using Unix line endings it says the same thing
but after a few seconds, so it must have checked something behind the
scenes.
