Alok: This will prevent line-ending changes (LF to *.bat, *.sln, *.vcxproj,
*.vxcproj.filters, and the compiled shaders, CRLF to everything else) from being
committed. You'll be able to save line ending changes to your working directory,
but the repo will enforce the expected format for the file type. We don't expect
this will cause issues for Chrome, but please let us know if that seems ok to
you.

Minor correction, tThe line ending style for the repo would be stricly LF.
Locally git would check-out CRLFs for the above Windows file formats.

For the windows clients to check-out CRLF, do we need to have any client-side
line-ending setting?

Chromium prescribes "autoclrf false".
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/UsingGit
git config --global core.autocrlf false

gitattributes overrides core.autocrlf for any files it's set for (in our case,
all text files). So the line ending behaviour specified by the file in ANGLE
with this patch will be consistent will all user settings of autocrlf AFAIK.
