??Another suggestion:

Jalview Project Configuration:


If we add a file to the root of the Jalview project named

.gitattributes

containing this line:

* text=auto


then that should ensure that all commits of text files are normalised to LF 
(not CRLF) line endings.


See

https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#per-repository-settings


NB I haven't actually committed or tried this yet because I am cautious about 
the note at 
https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#refreshing-a-repository-after-changing-line-endings

Good idea! I think this is important to make patching easier. Done in my 
installation!

Thanks, Mungo.

??Would it be worth advising Eclipse users (e.g. us) to set this General | 
Workspace preference:


?[cid:7253142e-786d-40f8-9d8b-98c4da7038e6]


instead of the default setting which may be Windows or Unix.


I'm assuming here that files in Git are generally Unix formatted.


I'll keep digging into Git configuration options to control the diffs as well, 
but this seem to be a bit...problematic....
