I thought we agreed that what you are doing is not workable in the first place, no? I suspect one way to handle "In this project, the files that are checked out must be with CRLF line endings no matter what the platform is" might be to use the line ending attributes to force that while keeping the in-repository data with LF line endings. The diff output (format-patch output is just one of them) comes from comparing the in-repository representation, so you won't have \r\n that will be stripped via MTA in it, "apply" and "am" will apply the patch without having to worry about \r\n, _and_ the line ending attributes would end the lines in your in-working-tree files with CRLF that way. -- 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
