.gitattributes?

svn:eol-style translates roughly into crlf. svn:keywords translates (partially) into ident.

git appears to ignore unrecognized entries in .gitattributes. The rest can be stored there untranslated (or lightly translated - ':' is not legal for .gitattributes names, if I read the comments correctly).
