From: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@xxxxxx> Working with a repo that used to be all CRLF. At some point it was changed to all LF, with `text=auto` in .gitattributes. Trying to cherry-pick a commit from before the switchover fails: $ git cherry-pick -Xrenormalize <commit> fatal: CRLF would be replaced by LF in [path] Whenever crlf_action is CRLF_TEXT_XXX and not CRLF_AUTO_XXX, SAFE_CRLF_RENORMALIZE must be turned into CRLF_SAFE_FALSE. Reported-by: Eevee (Lexy Munroe) <eevee@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@xxxxxx> --- Thanks for reporting. Here is a less invasive patch.
