Excuse my ignorance, but why do we need to set attributes about eol or even suggest auto.crlf=true ? Why can't this be managed at the editor level? My point is that I never understood the logic about autoconvertion of line endings. Of course it'll report modified files if you use autoconvertion, it's what you are asking the tool to do! I understand the idea ist that then the tool ignores line ending differences but it sounds very kludgy to me. A better idea imho would be to enforce line endings in some pre-commit/pre-push hook, and convert all existing files prior to these hooks, but do we really want to enforce such a thing?
