Description

On the lines of HADOOP-8912 .
Many developers clone the apache/hive git repository to make changes.
Adding a .gitattributes file will help in doing the right thing while checking out files on Windows (eg- adding \r\n on checkout of most text files, preserving \n in case of *.sh files ), and replacing \r\n with \n while checking in code back into a git repository.
