I still do not understand this 100%, but I believe I made a mistake when introducing the .gitattributes file: I should have done $ echo "* text=auto" >>.gitattributes $ rm .git/index # Remove the index to force Git to $ git reset # re-scan the working directory $ git status # Show files that will be normalized $ git add -u $ git add .gitattributes $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization" according to https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes, but I only did the equivalent of the first and the last two steps. Unfortunately this cannot be fixed now anymore, andybody doing a bisect spanning the time between .gitattributes creation and the fix should probably first remove .gitattributes. > But try again now. You are a hero! Some months ago I tried to find the cause, but failed to find the missing file. Georg
