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:

*.gitattributes text svneol=native#text/plain
