I don't think anyone is against that simple .gitattributes patch; it is safe enough for "sane" platforms. People are worried about the *actual* problem though: somehow your git port and also the rest of your build environment is in two minds about what a line ending looks like. This is quite likely to cause a lot of other problems as well. I would say that .gitattributes -crlf thing is fine, but I don't really want to see twenty other patches to support messed-up code checkouts ;-) Segher |
