The implicit assumption with any setting to core.autoCRLF is that you want to keep the git objects free of CRLF line endings. - core.autoCRLF 'true' means that your tools that handle text files would be upset findign LF line endings, and they will leave text in CRLF line endings. Checking out from git creates working tree files while adding CR before LF as needed, and checking in from working tree files to git strips CR before LF as needed. - core.autoCRLF 'input' means that your tools do not mind handling text files in LF line endings and they will leave text in CRLF line endings, so checking out from git creates working tree files by just giving what is stored in the repository, and checking in from working tree files to git strips CR before LF as needed. So on sane platforms, you do not want to set that variable, unless you are helping to test and improve that feature. - 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
