Re: Git on Windows, CRLF issues

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.

Something like (untested, using bash):

X=$(echo "* -crlf" | git hash-object -w --stdin)
git filter-branch \
	--index-filter $'git-update-index --index-info <<< \
				"100644 $X\t.gitattributes"' \
	-- --all
