I'm not saying the conversion should be changed. I'm saying that the
gitattributes file should represent the conversion. It currently
doesn't which is why there are problems. It's claiming that "*.bat",
"*.svg" and "*.vsproj" files have normalised line endings, but they
don't and that confuses git.
