On msys we do that. A few users decided they know better and switched it
off. Me for example. But I wouldn't do something as stupid as editing a
file with an editor that tries to be helpful and adds CR/LFs.
There are certain file formats, such as a Visual Studio .sln file, that
MUST be CRLF. When a .sln file is not CRLF, Visual Studio refuses to
read it. I want to be able to set into the committed .gitattributes
file the list of files that must be translated to the proper format
regardless of the autocrlf setting. An example is below:
*.bat crlf
*.def crlf
*.dsp crlf
*.dsw crlf
*.rc crlf
*.sln crlf
*.vcproj crlf
*.vcp crlf
*.vcw crlf
I'm not sure your patch was intended to accomplish the forced crlf
settings above, but certainly, this functionality would be useful, if
not critical.
Thanks.
Josh
