> 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.
> But before adding the .gitattributes file we need to normalize the existing tree, so that people when they sync after .giattributes change wont end up with a bunch of modified files in their workspace.
> 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.

> # http://stackoverflow.com/questions/170961/whats-the-best-crlf-handling-strategy-with-git
> I will submit a separate bug and patch for .gitattributes
