I noticed a repository's .gitattributes entry for *.csv used text eol=crlf so I investigated and found this.

I hate that the pleasant news about standardization of CSV come with the let-down that is using two bytes for new lines.

    Don't worry, it's not really standardised despite this attempt. You can use UNIX line endings and nothing bad will happen.
