The thing I mentioned with autocrlf is the old way of doing things, up 
to Git 1.6 I think. From then on, .gitattributes is the way to go.

However, if a new file type appears, Git will determine whether it is a 
text file by checking to see if it fails the tests for binary files.

There's a good explanation of why it might be best to have both settings

Cheers,
