+Git has builtin mechanisms to handle line endings between platforms
+with different EOL styles. To allow git to do CRLF conversion assign
+``text`` attribute to files using `.gitattributes
+<https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html>`_.
+For files that have to have specific line ending assign ``eol``
+attribute. For binary files the attribute is, naturally, ``binary``.
+
+For example::
+
+ $ cat .gitattributes
+ *.py text
+ *.txt text
+ *.png binary
+ /readme.txt eol=CRLF
