Hi Brian,

good question! There is a .gitattributes file, all the files affected
have these attributes

*.py     text diff=python

That is the important information, that we need.
Since there is a .gitattributes file, (wich is good),
you can forget about core.autocrlf (at least for all python files).
(That should be clear from the documentation of Git,
 but it could be, that we can make things more clear).

So a "text" attribute trumps the settings of autocrlf?  That makes
it sound like ...

There is only one way out of this dilemma:
renormalize the line endings in the repo (and live a happier life ;-)

... there is another way out, which is to drop "text" attribute?
