+# Treat all files in the Go repo as binary, with no git magic updating
+# line endings. This produces predictable results in different environments.
+#
+# Windows users contributing to Go will need to use a modern version
+# of git and editors capable of LF line endings.
+#
+# Windows .bat files are known to have multiple bugs when run with LF
+# endings, and so they are checked in with CRLF endings, with a test
+# in test/winbatch.go to catch problems. (See golang.org/issue/37791.)
+#
+# We'll prevent accidental CRLF line endings from entering the repo
+# via the git-codereview gofmt checks and tests.
