+1.

At this point I must admit to being somewhat of a git n00b. While I have 
been using git for local branches, almost all of my remote repositories 
have been subversion, accessed with git-svn. I have been sheltered 
therefore by the GeoTools project subversion config from addressing 
things like git line ending issues.

What local settings should GeoTools developers use to ensure correct 
behaviour on all platforms? Do I need to:

$ git config --global core.autocrlf true

This might rely on the content of the repository.

Sample discussions:
http://help.github.com/line-endings/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2825428/why-should-i-use-core-autocrlf-true-in-git

Do we need to manipulate the subversion repository as it is migrated to 
git to ensure there are no text files containing CRLF line endings?

Are there any other subversion properties whose absence will be missed 
when we migrate to git?

Any other advice from git frequent fliers? (Justin and Gabriel?)

Kind regards,
