Subject: Gitattributes file is not respected when switching between branches
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:55:31 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANYoZJng0GNZWU=eUEnXgVQ_NKQQOKM+mhJ9bsXMEJxxEhwQMw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Good day

I faced following issue with gitattributes file (at least eol setting)
when was trying to force `lf` mode on windows.

We have 2 branches: master & dev. With master set as HEAD in repository

I've added `.gitattributes` with following content to `dev` branch

```
* text eol=lf
```

Now when you clone this repo on other machine and checkout dev branch,
eol setting is not respected.
As a workaround you can rm all files except .git folder and do hard reset.

Issue is reproducible on windows & unix versions. Test repo can be
found on github
https://github.com/betalb/gitattributes-issue

master branch - one file without gitattributes
feature-branch - .gitattributes added with eol=lf
unix-feature-branch - .gitattributes added with eol=crlf

Thanks,
Vitalii
