lbruun opened a new pull request #290: Add .gitattributes file to repo
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/290
 
 
   Adds a `.gitattributes` file to the repo. 
   
   The purpose of the file is to ensure that we'll never get files into the repo with wrong line endings, at least for those file types explicitly mentioned in the `.gitattributes` file. These settings will override the user's own git settings.
   
   It is deliberate that the file uses a whitelist, i.e. it only lists the file types where there's 100% certainty that they should always use Unix-style line endings. For file types _not_ explicitly mentioned in the `.gitattributes` file git's behaviour will be as today.
