Alexander Kriegisch commented on MRELEASE-899:
----------------------------------------------
This problem currently breaks backward compatibility from Git 2.5.0 for Windows
to the previous official release Git 1.9.5, leading to full-file diffs during
the first commit when preparing the release. It used to work before, but does
not anymore. I want to be able to set this property.
> release:prepare should not change the line separator

> Key: MRELEASE-899
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-899
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ralph van Etten
>
> Currently the plugin use the system property {{line.separator}} when it
> rewrites the pom.xml.
> This causes trouble, because every line in changed, when a project is
> released sometimes under Windows and sometimes under Linux (because of its
> different line separators).
> (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11868590/maven-release-plugin-and-windows-line-breaks)
> Therefore it would be a nice feature when the plugin would not use the
> systems line separator but the line separator that is already used in the
> pom.xml.
> On the other hand, changing the existing behaviour would maybe, also harm
> someone else.
> Therefore it would be an great feature when there would be an property that
> define the expected behaviour, maybe in the same way it is done by the
> maven-assembly-plugin's property fileSet.lineEnding
