Committers should configure the <source>user.name</source>,
<source>user.email</source> and <source>core.autocrlf</source>
git repository or global settings with <source>git config</source>.
The first two settings define the identity and mail of the committer.
The third setting deals with line endings to achieve consistency
in line endings. Windows users should configure this setting to
<source>true</source> (thus forcing git to convert CR/LF line endings
in the workspace while maintaining LF only line endings in the repository)
while OS X and Linux users should configure it to <source>input</source>
(thus forcing git to only strip accidental CR/LF when committing into
the repository, but never when cheking out files from the repository). See <a
