Hi Eike
Hi
My suspicion is that the problem is in the comparison tooling.
The files in the repo seem to be normalized to LF line endings, but
some Windows tooling creates CR-LF; some tools can
be fixed via Bugzillas but it's a losing battle.
I totally disagree. All these tools have been working fine with all
other version control systems.
We agree. I was just elaborating the bad alternative.
And the false positives in the staging view appear with no comparison
tool being involved. And it's impossible to get rid of them by means
of the tool (EGit) that has created them.
There is a comparison. EGIT must do a file compare to determine whether
the file is changed. If you edit a file and edit it back again, the file
disappears from the staging view, so EGIT must be using content rather
than timestamp to detect changes.
Regards
Ed Willink
