[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] gitattributes - force LF for some FATE srt and webvtt refs

[Gyan Doshi]

Please first read the commit msg below, which is, I hope, 
self-explanatory, but I want to note a few things.

When searching to see how this issue was addressed in the past, I saw 
the recommendation was to set git global autocrlf to false. That's 
inadvisable because it affects checkout/clones of all other repos that 
the Windows user has. Setting repo local autocrlf to false is preferable 
but any local edits with CRLF will be merged unchanged.

So the safe alternative to this patch is to set local autocrlf to input 
for Windows users and document that clearly in both Git How-to and 
ffmpeg-web.git/src/download. gitattributes will have to track any 
deliberate CRLF files.

Regards,
Gyan

Subject: [PATCH] gitattributes - force LF for some FATE srt and webvtt refs

The SRT and WebVTT muxers only write out LF line endings.
On Windows, the refs for a few related FATE tests are
checked out, by default, as CRLF, causing these tests to fail.

Patch forces these files to be checked out as LF.
