The whole .gitattributes needs to be adopted, I think

Git 2.10 or higher has "git ls-files --eol":

Problem:
xml file had been commited  with CRLF : either normalize it or declare "-text".

The same is valid for the other files as well.
They are identified by auto as text, and commited with CRLF.
My feeling is that they should be declared as "-text".
Or, to be more compatible, with "-crlf":

Solution:
Make up your mind about the xml file and the html files.
If they are text, they need to be normalized.


Question:
What happens, if you do this:
# Auto detect text files and perform LF normalization
*        crlf=auto

*.bin    -crlf
*.dat    -crlf
*.java   crlf diff=java
*.html   crlf diff=html
*.css    crlf
*.js     crlf
*.sql    crlf
