The new Prettier-based formatting commit hook is incompatible
with Windows CRLF line endings so enforce Unix LF everywhere.
The .gitattributes prior to this change causes these conversions even
if core.autocrlf is false. This configuration, in contrast, works
irrespective of the global git configuration. It also prevents files
from being committed with Windows line endings accidentally.
* Git 2.10 (release 2016-09-03) or later required
* Earlier versions of git will incorrectly apply eol=lf to binary
files unless explicitly called out as binary in .gitattributes
* Existing working copies on Windows will not have their existing line
endings corrected, and you will get `warning: CRLF will be replaced
by LF in <file>` when you edit them.
* To convert all of the files in an existing working copy to avoid
these warnings:
1. MAKE SURE all your work is committed and pushed somewhere as a
backup
2. MAKE SURE `git status` reports "nothing to commit, working tree
clean"
3. Run the following from working copy root:
```
git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard
```
