Hello,

I've just been playing with gitattributes and was trying the crlf attribute.  
The behaviour of this and/or core.autocrlf is not as I was expecting.

What I had imagined was that I could use .gitattributes to tell git which 
files in my tree were text.  Then the line endings on checkout would be set 
as appropriate to my platform, and on check in set to LF.

What actually happens is that any file with the crlf attribute is being 
checked out with LF expanded to CRLF (I'm running Linux of course), which is 
completely not what I wanted.

you need to set core.autoCrlf=input

I had the same problem some time ago ...
