# Normalize text on the way IN, so this repository never stores a carriage return.
#
# core.autocrlf is true on the Windows machines here and already converts on add, but that is a
# per-machine setting: one clone configured differently is enough to store a CRLF blob. Nothing
# repairs it afterwards - git converts on the way out only where a lone LF exists, so a blob that
# already carries CR passes through untouched and is reproduced faithfully by every clone. This
# line moves the guarantee into the repository, where every clone receives it.
#
# Binary content is exempt without being enumerated: text=auto asks git to classify it, and git
# weighs unprintable characters rather than only looking for a NUL byte. Checked against every file
# tracked here, including a PDF that a NUL-only heuristic calls text, by staging it under this rule
# and comparing the blob byte for byte. An extension list would be only as complete as the list.
