This should match all files in directories one level deeper than the directory where .gitattributes live:

   If there is a separator at the beginning or middle (or both) of the pattern,
   then the pattern is relative to the directory level of the particular
   .gitignore file itself.

Same result, but when I commit .gitattributes, I get a warning that git will do lf->crl conversion. But even after commit, no conversion is done and git-ls-files still shows:

   i/lf    w/lf    attr/text=auto eol=crlf gt8/ETS/Projekte/.gitignore

Only after removal followed by "git reset --hard", I get:

   i/lf    w/lfcr  attr/text=auto eol=crlf gt8/ETS/Projekte/.gitignore

Show 5 quoted lines

No. It is one of the XML files I want to smudge+clean
