There is a large Git repository (~4,000 commits) containing files in CP866 and does not contain a file named .gitattributes in the root of project. Is there any way to add .gitattributes (*.txt text working-tree-encoding=CP866) with rewriting everything as if it existed from the beginning?
Tried git rebase -i --root and got conflicts on every commit after adding .gitattributes in root.
