[PATCH 0/2] Improvements to tests and docs for .gitattributes eol

I was answering a question on StackOverflow recently about the interaction between text=auto and eol, and someone pointed out to me that what I had written, which was based on the documentation, was not correct as of Git 2.10 (and more specifically 6523728499 ("convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF", 2016-06-28)).

When I set out to document the behavior correctly, I ran into the fact that the tests, where I looked for examples of how this behaves, didn't have any tests for some of these cases, and so I had some trouble documenting this clearly and accurately. So this series basically just adds some tests for existing behavior so we don't change it (and so I could figure out how it works) and then updates the documentation accordingly.

I tried to make the docs as specific as possible, since I needed them to be specific and accurate here, and I felt like speaking affirmatively about the behavior would be clearer than speaking negatively about the behavior (I tried both). I would of course be delighted to hear suggestions on how this could be clearer or easier to understand.

I realize that 2.35.0-rc0 has just come out and so this won't be picked up right away, which is fine, but I thought I'd send it out nevertheless (mostly so I don't forget).
