On the internal subversion tree I'm working on (using git-svn), there are quite a bit of files that have CRLF endings -- we are a cross platform development group. The solution to this in subversion was that everyone had the same .subversion/config with a bunch of autoprops set; i.e.: [auto-props] *.H = svn:eol-style=native *.h = svn:eol-style=native *.CPP = svn:eol-style=native *.cpp = svn:eol-style=native and I can't do the same using git-svn. Thankfully emacs detects CRLFs and adjusts accordingly, and that's my workaround for it, but it would be nice to have some kind of gitattribute that allows you to set the autocrlf according to a filter. -- Kelvie Wong - 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
