Subject: Incorrect and inconsistent End-Of-Line characters in .gitmodules after "git submodule set-branch --branch <branch_name>"
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2021 00:55:07 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANt7McFAu5gAFcgd+dejQjDQDxfcnyhz=BxSAejXGMMtGQzO_w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
Originally this bug was reported in the Git for Windows project and
contains two screenshots:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3321
Johannes Schindelin (dscho) is convinced that this is not a
Windows-specific issue. Following is a brief description of this bug
as I've faced it:
After running the "git submodule set-branch --branch master -- ms1"
I've noticed that the .gitmodules file is encoded with both DOS and
UNIX End-of-Line characters simultaneously: all original lines use DOS
EOL characters but the added "branch = master" line uses UNIX EOL.
Found on the following environment:
$ git --version --build-options

Comments of Johannes Schindelin (dscho) in the GitHub bug report:
> I don't believe that Git considers its config files free game regarding line endings.
> Therefore, I think that having DOS line endings in there is already a violation of Git's
> assumptions. In any case, this is not a Windows-specific issue, even if DOS line
> endings are much more prevalent on Windows than on other platforms. Please take
