Add docs on .gitattribtues

[alampros]

@mathieudutour – Can you please verify that this info is correct?

I was running into a lot of problems where Kactus would incorrectly report many changes to a file when nothing had actually changed. Adding the .gitattributes config to the repo seems to have solved it.

hum interesting, haven't come accross that before. I'm not actually sure what it's doing. The end-of-line shouldn't change since it's always generated the same way. Is it when working with someone else on the repo?

[alampros]

Yeah, it seems to happen when Kactus touches/generates files that were previously pulled down from the remote. Although all of the sketch/kactus users are on macs, our internal git server is windows (I think). Might be where the line endings are getting hosed?

[mathieudutour]

hum yes possibly. I'm a bit reluctant to put that in the main doc as it's not actually needed for people using GitHub. Maybe in a FAQ?

[alampros]

Well then it wouldn't be "frequently asked" 😉 – maybe a "troubleshooting" page instead?

[mathieudutour]

very true :)
