No. As long as you don't set any attributes, git will by default leave your line endings alone on Linux. You might get into trouble on Windows, because git defaults to converting line endings to CRLF on checkout (core.autocrlf=true) and gets confused when files are already checked in with CRLFs. This problem is fixed in the upcoming 1.7.2 release. -- Eyvind -- 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
