Unfortunately EGit/JGit does not use .gitattributes, which can lead to problems if you used a mixed “command line git”/EGit workflow - do a bugzilla search for gitattributes.
I suspect that use of .gitattributes for Nebula is not suitable.

This is the one we are using in NatTable. Although I'm a Nebula committer, I don't want to perform actions that potentially will touch a lot of source files in the whole Nebula project. Maybe Wim will test this first locally?

In [1] is explained that you can handle this by local Git configuration (core.autocrlf) and/or via .gitattributes directly in the repository. Adding the .gitattributes should handle things correctly even if the local Git configuration property is missing. At least I understand it that way. Wouldn't it make sense then to add such a .gitattributes to Nebula too? Rejecting contributions because of wrong line endings when it can be handled automatically feels wrong. What do you think?
