Description

With development happening on windows there is a higher chance of more CRLF files getting into the source tree.
I would like to avoid that by creating .gitattributes file which prevents sources from having CRLF entries in text files.

I am adding a couple of links here to give more primer on what exactly is the issue and how we are trying to fix it.
