Not necessarily in the source tree: individual users can put that into their $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes or $HOME/.config/git/attributes. Likewise the previous snippet can go into $HOME/.gitconfig rather than each individual cloned tree. (the point is, there's no need to split this quality-of-life change between the repository and the user's setup - it can be done once by a user and will work for all future checkouts) Alexander
