How do we set things so that line endings are automatically normalized

You mean, something similar to a subversion commit hook script that
re-writes the commit on the fly? I don't think we'll be able to do that
in general, due to the distributed nature of git. Here is a relevant
github support discussion:
http://support.github.com/discussions/feature-requests/686-pre-commit-hooks
The core of the problem is that an entire series of changes (including
arbitrarily complex forking/merging) can be performed in a local
repository, then pushed to github all at once. Therefore, normalization
would have to do some non-trivial history rewriting, which would then
cause divergence from the repository the changes were pushed from.
Thanks,
Jason
