gitattributes.txt says, of the crlf attribute:
Set::
Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark
the path as a "text" file. 'core.autocrlf' conversion
takes place without guessing the content type by
inspection.
That is to say that the crlf attribute does not force the file to have
CRLF line endings, instead it removes the autocrlf guesswork and forces
the file to be treated as text. Then, whatever line ending is defined
by the autocrlf setting is applied.
However, that is not what convert.c was doing. The conversion to CRLF
was being skipped in crlf_to_worktree() when the following condition was
true:
action == CRLF_GUESS && auto_crlf <= 0
That is to say conversion took place when not in guess mode (crlf attribute
not specified) or core.autocrlf set to true. This was wrong. It meant
that the crlf attribute being on for a given file _forced_ CRLF
conversion, when actually it should force the file to be treated as
text, and converted accordingly. The real test should simply be
auto_crlf <= 0
That is to say, if core.autocrlf is falsei (or input), conversion from
LF to CRLF is never done. When core.autocrlf is true, conversion from
LF to CRLF is done only when in CRLF_GUESS (and the guess is "text"), or
CRLF_TEXT mode.
Similarly for crlf_to_worktree(), if core.autocrlf is false, no conversion
should _ever_ take place. In reality it was only not taking place if
core.autocrlf was false _and_ the crlf attribute was unspecified.

As noted by Johan Herland, git-archive is a kind of checkout and needs
to apply any checkout filters that might be configured.
This patch adds the convenience function convert_sha1_file which returns
a buffer containing the object's contents, after converting, if necessary
(i.e. it's a combination of read_sha1_file and convert_to_working_tree).
Direct calls to read_sha1_file in git-archive are then replaced by calls
to convert_sha1_file.
Since convert_sha1_file expects its path argument to be NUL-terminated --
a convention it inherits from convert_to_working_tree -- the patch also
changes the path handling in archive-tar.c to always NUL-terminate the
string. It used to solely rely on the len field of struct strbuf before.
archive-zip.c already NUL-terminates the path and thus needs no such
change.

with other VCSs
$Id$ is present already in SVN and CVS; it would mean that people
converting their existing repositories won't have to make any changes to
the source files should they want to make use of the ident attribute.
Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it
seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it.
I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;
monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist. I can't think of a good reason not
to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of
$ident$.

The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers.
First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*'
variables in the configuration.
filter.<name>.clean filter command to run upon checkin
filter.<name>.smudge filter command to run upon checkout
Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name
matches the custom filter driver's name.
Example:
(in .gitattributes)
*.c filter=indent
(in config)
[filter "indent"]
clean = indent
smudge = cat

The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes
except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it
to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout.
As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths,
clarify how they interact with each other.

Also, noticed by valgrind: the code caused a read out-of-bounds.
Some comments updated as well (they still reflected old calling
conventions).

This separates the checkattr() call and interpretation of the
returned value specific to the 'crlf' attribute into separate
routines, so that we can run a single call to checkattr() to
check for more than one attributes, and then interprete what
the returned settings mean separately.

This updates the semantics of 'crlf' so that .gitattributes file
can say "this is text, even though it may look funny".
Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the path
as a "text" file. 'core.autocrlf' conversion takes place
without guessing the content type by inspection.
Unsetting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the
path as a "binary" file. The path never goes through line
endings conversion upon checkin/checkout.
Unspecified `crlf` attribute tells git to apply the
`core.autocrlf` conversion when the file content looks like
text.
Setting the `crlf` attribut to string value "input" is similar
to setting the attribute to `true`, but also forces git to act
as if `core.autocrlf` is set to `input` for the path.

It was bothering me a lot that I abused small integer values
casted to (void *) to represent non string values in
gitattributes. This corrects it by making the type of attribute
values (const char *), and using the address of a few statically
allocated character buffer to denote true/false. Unset attributes
are represented as having NULLs as their values.
Added in-header documentation to explain how git_checkattr()
routine should be called.

This allows you to define three values (and possibly more) to
each attribute: true, false, and unset.
Typically the handlers that notice and act on attribute values
treat "unset" attribute to mean "do your default thing"
(e.g. crlf that is unset would trigger "guess from contents"),
so being able to override a setting to an unset state is
actually useful.
- If you want to set the attribute value to true, have an entry
in .gitattributes file that mentions the attribute name; e.g.
*.o binary
- If you want to set the attribute value explicitly to false,
use '-'; e.g.
*.a -diff
- If you want to make the attribute value _unset_, perhaps to
override an earlier entry, use '!'; e.g.
*.a -diff
c.i.a !diff
This also allows string values to attributes, with the natural
syntax:
attrname=attrvalue
but you cannot use it, as nobody takes notice and acts on
it yet.

Earlier we said 'crlf lets the path go through core.autocrlf
process while !crlf disables it altogether'. This fixes the
semantics to:
- Lack of 'crlf' attribute makes core.autocrlf to apply
(i.e. we guess based on the contents and if platform
expresses its desire to have CRLF line endings via
core.autocrlf, we do so).
- Setting 'crlf' attribute to true forces CRLF line endings in
working tree files, even if blob does not look like text
(e.g. contains NUL or other bytes we consider binary).
- Setting 'crlf' attribute to false disables conversion.

This defines the semantics of 'crlf' attribute as an example.
When a path has this attribute unset (i.e. '!crlf'), autocrlf
line-end conversion is not applied.
Eventually we would want to let users to build a pipeline of
processing to munge blob data to filesystem format (and in the
other direction) based on combination of attributes, and at that
point the mechanism in convert_to_{git,working_tree}() that
looks at 'crlf' attribute needs to be enhanced. Perhaps the
existing 'crlf' would become the first step in the input chain,
and the last step in the output chain.

This allows you to do:
[core]
AutoCRLF = input
and it should do only the CRLF->LF translation (ie it simplifies CRLF only
when reading working tree files, but when checking out files, it leaves
the LF alone, and doesn't turn it into a CRLF).

It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.
Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a
[core]
AutoCRLF = true
in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).
But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:
- "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
- "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
- "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF
and things work fine.
Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:
git clone -n git test-crlf
cd test-crlf
git config core.autocrlf true
git checkout
git diff
shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.
Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).
I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.
The patch is pretty simple - the biggest part is the new "convert.c" file,
but even that is really just basic stuff that anybody can write in
"Teaching C 101" as a final project for their first class in programming.
Not to say that it's bug-free, of course - but at least we're not talking
about rocket surgery here.
