I think it should be used to have the same effect as $ echo "* text eol=crlf" >.gitattributes # In other words, the `auto` was ignored, as explained here: + $ git config core.eol crlf + i.e. declaring all files are text; the combination now is + equivalent to doing + $ git config core.autocrlf true + -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
