# Normalization when checking-in to Git database (in order of precedence)
# i) specific attributes in .gitattributes (text/eol/binary) determines conversion to LF
# ii) text=auto in .gitattributes determines conversion to LF for all other files Git considers as text
# iii) core.autocrlf (if above not present)
#
# Normalization when checking-out to working directory
# i) specific attributes in .gitattributes (eol) determines CRLF conversion
# ii) core.autocrlf = true converts to CRLF
# iii) core.eol (if above not present)

# Normalize all other text files not explicitly specified
# Check-in - converts to LF
# Check-out - depends on core.autocrlf or core.eol
* text=auto

# Denote all files that are truly binary and should not be modified.
