I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Files like configure.ps1 and Makefile.win are only used on Windows machines
and must contain CRLF endings. If you move them to LF only, autoconversion
*must* happen or the build will fail. But the configuration of `core.autocrlf`
on a Windows developer's machine could cause this to fail.
Also see the commentary here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29435156/what-will-text-auto-eol-lf-in-gitattributes-do
and especially the link to the CHANGELOG for Git 2.10.
Under your proposed change what is the _correct_ way for a Windows
developer to configure their git such that a checkout will have the correct
line endings, and that when they create/edit new files, that they receive the
correct line endings?
