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
