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?
The core.autocrlf true suggestion for Windows users is a bit of a side track, and will probably be removed. The .attributes file allows "you to ensure consistent behaviour for all users regardless of their git settings." See https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings#platform-all At least that's my current understanding, so take it with a grain of salt. --Beman
