Re: [Libusb-devel] CRLF in files checked out on Windows

[Pete B. <pb...@gm...>]

Also, I think we still want to see diffs on the MSVC project files, in 
which case "-text" ("-crlf") is what we want to go with.

As per [1]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(If) You do not want any end-of-line conversions applied to, nor textual 
diffs produced for, any binary file you track. You would need to specify 
e.g.

*.jpg -text -diff

but that may become cumbersome, when you have many attributes. Using 
attribute macros, you can specify groups of attributes set or unset at 
the same time. The system knows a built-in attribute macro, binary:

*.jpg binary

which is equivalent to the above.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If binary means we can no longer see the diffs, then I very much think 
we want to go with "-text" only.
