---------------------------------------
Summary: VS and line breaks
Key: ZOOKEEPER-1966
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1966
Project: ZooKeeper
Issue Type: Bug
Components: c client
Environment: Windows, Visual Studio 2013 Build
Reporter: Orion Hodson
The patch attached to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1953 has
caused problems for git users when committed from SVN.
The attached patch simply changes the line endings of the offending files from
CRLF to LF in the hope that when they are committed to SVN, the LF line endings
end up as the canonical representation in the Apache ZooKeeper git repo.
An interpretation of what's happened here is that svn has stored the CRLF line
endings and these have been pushed into git by git-svn as described here:
http://blog.subgit.com/line-endings-handling-in-svn-git-and-subgit/. Git
clients are then confused as the text files have an unexpected representation
in the repo.
Experimentally VS is indifferent to line endings – ran dos2unix on the vcxproj
and sln files and VS opened and closed the files without modifying them. This
page seems to advertise the indifference to line endings and discusses
selecting custom options: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd409797.aspx.
