I just tested GitHub subversion support, but it doesn't apply the 
line-ending config from .gitattributes.

I had hoped it would automatically apply 'svn:eol-style=native' 
properties to text files, but instead it will return the files bare as 
stored in the repository (which means LF line-endings for text files). 
This makes it next to useless on Windows unless you use tools that will 
apply LF line-endings consistently.

That means it is probably better to ignore the presence of subversion 
support in GitHub.
