Be aware that what you proposed costs many CPU cycles. I am totally opposed to enabling that option by default on all platforms. I am okay with .gitattributes (but I would call it .gitfiletypes), but I am _not_ okay with git being _too much_ fscked up by Windows. Microsoft has done enough harm already.

Ciao, Dscho
