In Git 2.10.0 the interpretation of gitattributes changed or was fixed
such that "* text=auto eol=crlf" would indeed still do auto-detection
of text vs. binary content.[1] Previously this was identical to
"* text eol=crlf", i.e., treating all files as text.
JGit still did the latter, which caused surprises because it changed
binary files.
