Description
Git 1.7.2+ has a new method of ensuring line-ending consistency in the repository. Previously, this relied on each developer setting a config property, but now you can add an attribute to the .gitattributes file.

Re #6308. Add a .gitattributes file setting the new 'text' attribute
From git 1.7.2, there's a new way of dealing with line endings. This setting of the attribute should mean that developers get their native line endings locally, but that we only get LF endings in the repo. Requiring everyone to set a config property to enforce this should no longer be necessary.
