That's indeed pretty nasty. Um, I don't want to spoil the party, but was not the original idea of this auto-CRLF thing some sort of "emulation" of the CVS text checkout behaviour? In that case, .gitattributes (I mean a tracked one) would be wrong, wrong, wrong. It's a local setup if you want auto-CRLF or not. So, why not just make it a local setting (if in config or $GIT_DIR/info/gitattributes, I don't care) which shell patterns are to be transformed on input and/or output?
