Binary file detection via gitattributes not working ?! [message #1823922]

Hi,

I got a Windows 10 machine with Eclipse 2020-03 and a .gitattributes with only this line:

* text=auto eol=lf

I also got a binary jpg file that contains a CRLF byte sequence (the file is attached).

When I try to add the jpg to the index in the staging view, CRLF>LF conversion happens, which I can see instantly from the Exception that pops up:

java.io.EOFException: Input did not match supplied length. 1 bytes are missing.

Git for Windows (2.24.0.windows.2) seems to detect the file as binary properly - the file can be added, committed and checkout out again without being modified.

Can anybody confirm this behaviour as undesired?

The FAQs state that the text attribute is supported: https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/FAQ

Cheers
Rice
