If\ncore.autocrlf=true, core.eol will be used to normalize the files in\nyour working directory. core.eol defaults to native line endings for\nyour platform.\n\nI researched and put my thoughts down in a blog post:\nhttp://blog.ctaggart.com/2014/02/time-to-kill-carriage-return.html\n\ncheers,\nCameron\n"}]}
