After correcting spelling of renormalize, the end result of the script you gave is that line endings in working directory are CRLF, and in the repo are LF. Is that expected? Surprising? Not sure what you were trying to test there. I also fixed my script to use printf, new version is: (using copy/paste this time, instead typing from memory like last time; learned my lesson). mkdir empty cd empty git init git config core.autocrlf false printf '1\r\n2' > test.txt git add . git commit -m test git config core.autocrlf input cp test.txt t2.txt printf 'a\r\nb' > test.txt git add . Thank you for ls-files, I've been resorting to deleting from working directory and then doing a checkout. And also thank you for the gem of "od -c"! The output of ls-files after running my script is: i/lf w/crlf attr/ t2.txt i/crlf w/crlf attr/ test.txt So I'm still confused. Why didn't test.txt lose its CRs while t2.txt did? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments, is for the intended recipient(s) only, may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or proprietary and subject to important terms and conditions available at http://www.bankofamerica.com/emaildisclaimer.
