Maybe in your -unix-centric- world. But not in the real -windows-centric- world. And we are aiming to build some tools which are really cross-platform. And not with all kind of tricks. And we want to do this right. This implies conversion from line-endings between platforms. Subversion can do this (because it's build with the same mindset: cross-platform) Git can't, because it's hacked together for one platform. Maybe some people added windows-support later on, but it's not designed to do so, like gcc programs using mingw/(that other framework). I don't know how others are thinging about this, but I think it would be better when you stop cluttering this mailinglists with all your git-problems and git-promo-talk. As you said, we aggree to disaggree. You want to use your own tools, then don't bother us with your tool's problems.
