With a .gitattributes entry
* text=auto
what line separators are used when checking out the text files? The documentation states:
Set to string value "auto"
When text is set to "auto", the path is marked for automatic end-of-line conversion. If Git decides that the content is text, its line endings are converted to LF on checkin. When the file has been committed with CRLF, no conversion is done.
Unspecified
If the text attribute is unspecified, Git uses the core.autocrlf configuration variable to determine if the file should be converted.
This sounds to me that in case of text=auto core.autocrlf does not matter. Am I right?
