> Source code in hadoop-common repo has a bunch of files that have CRLF endings.
> With more development happening on windows there is a higher chance of more CRLF files getting into the source tree.
> I would like to avoid that by creating .gitattributes file which prevents sources from having CRLF entries in text files.
> I am adding a couple of links here to give more primer on what exactly is the issue and how we are trying to fix it.
