I would expect that the following .gitattributes file

would expect that explicitly setting "-text" would take precedence over
the fact that setting "eol" implies that a file should be considered to
be "text".
I would even more strongly expect
* eol=crlf
*.png binary
to turn off EOL translation for PNG files.
But in fact, in both of the above cases, EOL translation is turned *on*
for PNG files.
I propose that "-text" should override any setting for "eol" (which
would of course fix both problems, since "binary" is equivalent to
"-diff -merge -text"). What do people think?
Hmm, is there really something that needs a new proposal and
opinions?
The way I read the flow in convert.c is:
convert_to_git() uses input_crlf_action() to figure out what
crlf_to_git() conversion is necessary.
input_crlf_action() looks at text_attr and says CRLF_BINARY when
it is CRLF_BINARY without looking at eol_attr at all.
text_attr above is ca.crlf_action in convert_to_git().
The whole ca.* comes from convert_attrs() inspecting attributes
on the incoming path.
convert_attrs() inspects "eol" and "text" attributes, among
others, and sets crlf_action by calling git_path_check_crlf().
git_path_check_crlf() looks at the 'text' attribute; if it is
set to false, it returns CRLF_BINARY.
crlf_to_git() when given crlf_action==CRLF_BINARY is a no-op.
So, with the above attributes where anything is eol=crlf by default
and in addition *.png is binary (which contains -text), we shouldn't
get any crlf munging. Am I reading/following the code incorrectly?
Puzzled....
