+gitcvs.usecrlfattr
+ If true, the server will look up the `crlf` attribute for
+ files to determine the '-k' modes to use. If `crlf` is set,
+ the '-k' mode will be left blank, so cvs clients will
+ treat it as text. If `crlf` is explicitly unset, the file
+ will be set with '-kb' mode, which supresses any newline munging
+ the client might otherwise do. If `crlf` is not specified,
+ then 'gitcvs.allbinary' is used. See linkgit:gitattribute[5].

gitcvs.allbinary::
- If true, all files are sent to the client in mode '-kb'. This
- causes the client to treat all files as binary files which suppresses
- any newline munging it otherwise might do. A work-around for the
- fact that there is no way yet to set single files to mode '-kb'.
+ This is used if 'gitcvs.usecrlfattr' does not resolve
+ the correct '-kb' mode to use. If true, all
+ unresolved files are sent to the client in
+ mode '-kb'. This causes the client to treat them
+ as binary files, which suppresses any newline munging it
+ otherwise might do. Alternatively, if it is set to "guess",
+ then the contents of the file are examined to decide if
+ it is binary, similar to 'core.autocrlf'.
