Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

Sign up.gitattributes: EOL=LF overrides auto #2136
Conversation
The line * text=auto eol=lf in .gitattributes does not work as expected: setting eol=lf overrides text=auto, and works as * eol=lf or * text eol=lf This is not what is intended, as binary files like *.gz go through a CRLF -> LF conversion at commit time. Use * crlf=auto instead (which is even understood by older Git versions, which are still in use)

Yes, one problem was introduced in https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html (I don't know why this didn't happen, hints how to improve the Git documentation are welcome) In any case, the current master is normallized. |

LGTM. Sorry this took so long to review, but thanks for the PR @tboegi. |
