Raja Aluri created ZOOKEEPER-1574:
-------------------------------------
Summary: mismatched CR/LF endings in text files
Key: ZOOKEEPER-1574
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1574
Project: ZooKeeper
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Raja Aluri
Source code in zookeeper repo has a bunch of files that have CRLF endings.
With more development happening on windows there is a higher chance of more
CRLF files getting into the source tree.
I would like to avoid that by creating .gitattributes file which prevents
sources from having CRLF entries in text files.
But before adding the .gitattributes file we need to normalize the existing
tree, so that people when they sync after .giattributes change wont end up with
a bunch of modified files in their workspace.
I am adding a couple of links here to give more primer on what exactly is the
issue and how we are trying to fix it.

I will submit a separate bug and patch for .gitattributes
