I don't understand. All you have to do is add "* auto-eol=true"

Which rules?
I think "* auto-eol=true" is just crazy. We would _never_ want to
do that.
Any project that does that should be shot in the head.
In the interests of further making myself look like an idiot:
Just to clarify, is it crazy because that line would convert all
files, even binary ones, where core.autocrlf auto-detects whether
files are binary or text?
Just to clarify a bit more, that is _not_ what it would do. The
"crlf" attribute is still respected, of course.
Also, I meant to write "* crlf=auto", not "* auto-eol=true", if that
makes it any less crazy.
