At least that is how I read the description of `crlf` in
gitattributes(5).
But we do not want to mark a file as text but tell git to run its
auto-detection and use the local default line endings. But for
different projects we do not even want to run the auto-detection, but
leave the files as is.
Probably the best thing would be to default to crlf=true, and then
have a
.gitattributes file like this in your project:
-- snip --
*.am -crlf
-- snap --
(Did I guess right about the file extension? But why do you want to
check
in huge 3D stacks? Ah, of course, for test cases.)
Yes, thanks ;)
For now, this is the right thing to do. However, our file format
and the application does not depend on the extension. A a long
term solution, I'll fix our file format header to include '\0' if
the file is binary.
