There has been a recent thread on the main git mailing list concerning the
effect of special filters, particulalrly the internal CRLF conversion, for
getting a lot of checks 'just right'.
Have a look for Torsten Bögershausen <tbo...@web.de> 's threads regarding CRLF
handling etc. They may give a little bit more insight into how to create a
carefully crafted test - it may even be that his patches solve the problem.

Subject: [git-users] Re: 'git diff --name-status' reports difference for
zero-byte file
I know the problem exists both on PC and Mac. My team can replicated on two
different PC running Windows 7 and 10.
For Mac, I am using El Capitan, the git version I am using is version 2.8.2.
I am seeing that. I have also confirmed with a separate group that worked on
LFS, they have to do something special for this special case because they also
use git filters. We use similar methodology for the team that implements LFS
to create our filters. Maybe, you can help us to understand what we did wrong
with the way we configure the filter. For below example, 'irongit' is the
filter program we use.
Here is what I did:
% git add .
% git commit -m "checking all things in"
% git push
All the above was executed successfully. Then, I do:
% git diff
<<<< nothing shows up
% git diff --name status
M 0-bytefile1
M 0-bytefile2
M 0-bytefile3
<<<<<< above only list zero byte file in my git repository.
This is the modified ./git/config for the filters.
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = true
[remote "origin"]
url = ssh://git@xxxx.yyyyzzzz:1234/myproject/repo.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[filter "atcipher"]
smudge = irongit decrypt %f
clean = irongit encrypt %f
required = true
[diff "atcipher"]
textconv = cat
[merge "atcipher"]
name = irongit merge driver
driver = irongit merge %O %A %B %P

Hi,
We are working on an add-on over git using git filters, and testing other
tools that encapsulate Git.
For some reason, git reports that there is difference for any zero-byte
when git filters are used.
Is this a feature or bug? What's the suggested workaround?
Best regards,
Jack
