Each line in `gitattributes` file is of form:
- pattern attr1 attr2 ...
+ pattern attr1 attr2 ...
That is, a pattern followed by an attributes list,
separated by whitespaces. Leading and trailing whitespaces are
repository. To control what line ending style is used in the working
directory, use the `eol` attribute for a single file and the
`core.eol` configuration variable for all text files.
