Ok, so I turned off autocrlf and now 'git status' says that nothing has changed. I'm still somewhat puzzled. I can see that with autocrlf turned on, some of my files might have undergone CRLF-ification. But if so, shouldn't git recognize that the CRLFs were added (and would presumably be removed on commit)? Also, some of my files already had consistent usage of CRLF; why would those files be affected by autocrlf? Thanks for your continued help on this issue. I'd like to gain a good enough understanding so that I don't shoot myself in the foot again ;-) -- jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
