Subject: [PATCH] gitattributes: add attributes file

On different platforms, line endings can differ. Git tries to
intelligently convert source code to match native line endings when
doing a checkout, unless a particular configuration flag is set.

An alternate approach is to create a `.gitattributes` file and manually
specify various types of files. This ensures files are properly handled.
It also prevents git from creating patches that consist of nothing more
than replacing line endings.
