janpio opened a new issue #134: [Plugins] Distribute better .gitattributes file to all repos
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/134
 
 
   Seems a minimal `.gitattributes` might not be such a good idea:
   
   ```
   * text eol=lf
   ```
   
   This can also cause edits to clearly binary files, otherwise as expected git is not smart enough to know that `.png` for example should keep its line ending.
   
   This seems to be a better file:
   
   ```
   * text eol=lf
   
   #
   ## These files are binary and should be left untouched
   #
   
   # (binary is a macro for -text -diff)
   *.png binary
   *.jpg binary
   *.jpeg binary
   *.gif binary
   *.ico binary
   *.mov binary
   *.mp4 binary
   *.mp3 binary
   *.flv binary
   *.fla binary
   *.swf binary
   *.gz binary
   *.zip binary
   *.7z binary
   *.ttf binary
   *.eot binary
   *.woff binary
   *.pyc binary
   *.pdf binary
   ```
   
   Some projects even have a list of explicitly text files that should be touched, but I can't imagine that this is also necessary: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/.gitattributes
