Source code

The active GeoTools branches (main, 26.x and 25.x) now include a .gitattributes file specifying how linefeeds are handled for our repository. With this change you are no longer required to set global core.autocrlf=input to prevent conflict with other developers when editing text files.
A number of files with inconsistent line endings were cleaned up as part of this activity.
Use git reset as outlined below if encounter difficulty updating your checkout:
git pull --rebase
git reset --hard
