If you work on this repo on Windows, you quickly see the `.gitattributes` are not setup right for development on Windows.
1. Certain files had mixed line endings, which causes Visual Studio to prompt to adjust.
2. Running `premake` yields Windows line endings on Windows, and so every `*.csproj` file appears to have changes.
`xamarin-android` has a well-used `.gitattributes` file, so I used it as a starting point and added an entry for `*.cake` files.
The way it works (as I understand it):
- `git` stores everything with unix line endings
- on checkout, clients convert the line endings according to settings in the `.gitattributes` file
So, for example:
- All `*.csproj` files will have Windows line endings, as Visual Studio expects (both Mac and Windows)
- `*.cs` files will have Windows line endings on Windows, and unix line endings on Mac
