Issue #1111224 by marvil07, bfroehle, sun, dstol, plach, tim.plunkett, nod_, carwin: Added Introduce .gitattributes to end the CRLF/LF and binary diff horror, and detect/auto-fix whitespace errors.

.gitattributes

+# Drupal git normalization
+# @see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html
+# @see http://drupal.org/node/1542048
+
+# Shorthand for text files.
+# - Treat them as text.
+# - Ensure no CRLF line-endings, neither on checkout nor on checkin.
+# - Detect whitespace errors.
+#   - Exposed by default in `git diff --color` on the CLI.
+#   - Validate with `git diff --check`.
+#   - Deny applying with `git apply --whitespace=error-all`.
+#   - Fix automatically with `git apply --whitespace=fix`.
+[attr]drupaltext    text eol=lf whitespace=blank-at-eol,-blank-at-eof,-space-before-tab,tab-in-indent,tabwidth=2
+
+# Shorthand for binary files.
+# - Do not treat them as text.
+# - Include binary diff in patches instead of "binary files differ."
