Oh? That could very well be true - how would such line endings get into a blob? I'm pretty sure everyone is using autocrlf=true which should convert all line endings to LF on commit, but perhaps there's another way to get CRLF line endings into a blob? If autocrlf=false, files are committed as-is (I believe), so this would be one way to end up committing such files. But as far as I know, nobody has turned that option off in our group. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
