Watch out: -crlf and crlf can be one among several tokens that are
separated by blanks.

But I suggest that you do not try to parse and interpret .gitattribute
files yourself. The interaction between .gitattribute files at different
levels in the hierarchy is subtle. I suggest to parse the output of git
diff --check (or git show --check) instead of doing it all manually. (And
then a line in .gitattributes would have to be

  crlf-file -crlf whitespace=cr-at-eol

We can talk off-list about details.)
