Re: Git on Windows, CRLF issues

Jakub Narebski:

I think you can, by unsetting `crlf` attribute, i.e. putting the
following in .gitattributes:

   * -crlf

Yeah, that does indeed seem to work, no matter how core.autocrlf is
configured globally. I think this is the best way to go for the
repositories I am working on (as they are very much DOS/Windows-only).

Does anyone know how to hack an existing repository so that I can add
such a .gitattributes file to all commits? I've tried reading the
git-filter-branch manual page a few times, but I am still confused by
it.

I guess I need some combination of "git filter-branch --tree-filter"
and "git update-index --add".

It doesn't matter much that the all commits are re-written, as I am
still the only one to have cloned them.
