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.
