Oh, I must have slept. Qian, can you explain why you think that the line

* text=auto eol=lf

is necessary in .gitattributes? AFAIU, it says that every file is to be considered as a text file. Why?

From "man gitattributes": When text is set to "auto", Git decides by
itself whether the file is text or binary.

When I clone fricas git repo on my machine, I don't have this warning.

Maybe Waldek's git version is old?

Secondly, why would you want to force just LF on Windows?

We had problems when compiling Boot files with CRLF endings.

Also it would be messy for a Windows developer to commit without
this setting.

I think all that got unnoticed, because we had now binary files before png.

Perhaps now we additionally need a line

*.png        -text


To Waldek, since I can't test this on my side, if this works for you,
you can commit this change.
