Do I get the above after doing this? $ >empty $ >empty2 $ git ls-files --eol-worktree empty empty_file empty2 empty_file or do you mean this? $ >empty_file $ >empty_file2 $ git ls-files --eol-worktree empty empty_file empty_file2 or do you produce output one path at a time? $ >empty_file $ >empty_file2 $ git ls-files --eol-worktree empty empty_file empty empty_file2 > txt text_file_with_no_eol_at_all Does it help to have this category at all? This gives the user an indication that this file consists on a single incomplete line and differentiates it from a file with the same single line with LF or CR/LF line ending. What happens when I prepend to these three files another copy of the same line with LF or CR/LF line ending? You get 6 variations: 1. line LF line 2. line LF line LF 3. line LF line CRLF 4. line CRLF line 5. line CRLF line LF 6. line CRLF line CRLF If you say 1 and 2 are with LF, 4 and 6 are with CRLF, eveyrything else is mixed, then you are losing the distinction between 1 and 2 (and 4 and 6) that you made when the files were a single liner (with or without the incomplete line ending). Is that desirable? I wonder if it would be easier for the scripts that process the output from this command to handle if the report said what combination of _three_ possible line-ending is used. i.e. does the file contain a line that ends with LF? does the file contain a line that ends with CRLF? does the file contain a line with missing EOL? > Implementation details: > Make struct text_stat, is_binary() and gather_stats() from convert.c > public, add a new function get_convert_stats_ascii() and use it > in and use them in ls-files. > git ls-files --eol-staged will give a line like this: > > Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@xxxxxx> > --- This is even worse than the "like this" above ;-) -- 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
