After double checking the git documentation, it looks like the files will
get normalized at next commit:
"When text=auto normalization is enabled in an existing repository, any
text files containing CRLFs should be normalized. If they are not they will
be normalized the next time someone tries to change them, causing
unfortunate misattribution"
So it would probably be better to normalize them at the same time as the
addition of .gitattributes file.
It looks like the changes are rather harmless: it is either Windows only
files or allow to have some consistency like for .svg files were part of
them are in LF mode and other in CRLF.
We can refine the rules later if needed by tweaking the .gitattributes file.
