Prevent EOL Normalization for CSV Files

Question

I have an original repository that is used from both Windows and Linux .

I know that Git will automatically convert EOL to local standard: \ r \ n on Windows and n on Linux.

This is not a problem for source files.

But I have several CSV files that use a fixed format with the given character EOL ( \ r \ n ), which should not be changed, but Git will convert them too, breaking some code.

I tried to prevent EOL conversions for CSV files by creating a .gitattributes file in the root , next to a .gitignore file , with the following contents

*.csv    -text

I applied what I understood: http://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes

But Git still converts \ r \ n to \ n on Linux.

Should I play with another parameter like auto.crlf?

Note that I am limited by the local Linux repository restriction, as it is managed by the Jenkins Continuous Integration Server .

Thanks for any input.
