* The handling of the "text=auto" attribute has been corrected.
  $ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes

  $ echo "* text eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
  i.e. declaring all files are text (ignoring "auto").  The
  combination has been fixed to be equivalent to doing
  $ git config core.autocrlf true
