Looks good to me, one minor typo below
When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the
documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal
implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`.
- Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a
file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git`
directory. Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work.
The purpose or `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries

from the index without touching the working tree. The way to do this
with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.
