core.autocrlf documentation: mention the crlf attribute
The description of the configuration variable is obsolete and wrong (saying only file content is used), not just incomplete. It has used the attribute mechanism for a long time. The documentation of gitattributes mentions the core.autocrlf configuration variable in its description of crlf attribute. Refer to the gitattributes documentation from here as well.
