Subject: Git for Windows and line endings
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 18:13:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADKp0pyy=Nnv29LyhzAOX4B5wJNYnZ0h5d7zxNRyZxV2OGUSjg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi.. it is such a crime to have that default option of MSysGit mess
around with the line endings.

Caused us a lot of trouble.

There is no thought to the fact that it's possible the Git users are
not using Git the exact way the authors thought it would be used.
We have both Windows and Linux systems that have parts of their files
stored in Git repositories. And in addition to that, some Linux and
Windows Git clients. If everyone leaves the line endings alone,
everything works out just fine!

But messing with the line endings broke some things in production.
