Shouldn't the repositories contain a .gitattributes file indicating the eol flavor to be used for text files where it has significance?
Perhaps! I don't know anything about .gitattributes. Where can I find out more?
Dave,
I can probably save you some work here with my "perfect" mirror of Boost's EOL and MIME type config into a .gitattributes with which I configured my subgit to mirror my git repo into Boost sandbox. Taken from https://github.com/ned14/TripleGit/blob/master/.gitattributes:

Hope that's useful.
Very much so! I've arranged to have it injected into the root of every converted Git repository. It's missing from http://github.com/boostorg/boost at the moment but I hope once http://jenkins.boost.org/job/Boost2Git/2119 completes, it'll be there. Would you be willing to work with Boosters to correct any related line-ending/MIME issues? I'll happily give you commit rights to the repository at https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/blob/master/dot_gitattributes -- Dave Abrahams
