Dear Maintainer,

Quite a lot of packages ship .gitattributes in their tarballs, leading
to strange effects while building packages and, most importantly,
leading to the imports not creating Git trees identical to the tarballs.

A remedy to this would be git-buildpackage creating .git/info/attributes
with this content:

* -text -eol -crlf -ident -filter -working-tree-encoding

This disables any transformation of the version-controlled file.

Even better would be if gbp created the Git trees manually using
low-level Git commands which don’t take Git attributes into account.

Fixing this bug will also fix #719363.

Thanks!
