Subject: Git on Windows, CRLF issues
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.1.00.0804212145570.21181@perkele.intern.softwolves.pp.se>

Hi!

I have began moving old repositories for Windows-based software to Git. 
Since the tool I am moving from stores everything with CRLF line endings and 
have RCS-like keyword expansion, I'm treating it all as binary data when 
exporting to Git, i.e I have CRLF in the checked-in data (and I do want 
that, since this is Windows-only sources).

Now the latests msysgit comes along and (finally!) sets core.autocrlf to 
true by default.

How do I handle this without having everyone breaking check-ins? I can't 
require everyone to do unset core.autocrlf globally. Can I do that with 
gitattributes?
