> In its current state, the quick start will leave new developers based on Windows unable to start as a result of the "core.autocrlf" setting in git not being set to false.  
> This issue resurfaced in the following mailing list topic: 
> http://apache-nifi-incubating-developer-list.39713.n7.nabble.com/nifi-error-td2240.html
> Adam suggested using a gitattributes as a possibility to avoid the problem.  
> At minimum, we need documentation to curate the developer experience getting started and not leave Windows users contending with this issue.  While we have captured these settings in the contributor guide, there is no reference to that in the Quick Start guide.  This information needs to be captured in the Quick Start guide in some fashion.
