* crlf (Steffen Prohaska and Dmitry Potapov)
I am working on an alternative to the patch I sent last week. I
hope I
can present the two approaches soon.
The first approach is a lazy check in crlf_to_git() that warns
about an
irreversible conversion; or dies if safecrlf=true. This is
relatively
simple code but at least for git-add a workaround is needed to
suppress
printing a warning twice. The runtime overhead is negligible.
The second approach adds a new machinery is_worktree_crlfsafe()
that could be run independently of the crlf_to_git() conversion.
From the sound of it, I like the first approach much better.
Ok. I'll start with cleaning up the first approach tomorrow and
send resend the patch.
I do not expect that this topic will be ready for 1.5.4.
What with our ongoing discussion when to go out of preview phase for
msysGit, I think this makes sense.
I'll work on creating an improved installer that installs only a
subset of the commands. I'll exclude commands that are not yet
ready for Windows (e.g. git-svn, ...).
After we have the first version of this installer we can further
discuss if we leave the preview phase.
