Thanks. That worked for me. Out of the box, msysgit sets core.autocrlf = true in system scope: / etc/gitconfig I mostly work with linux and am only attempting git on windows because I think git can solve some of our problems but many of my co-workers are using windows. So I guess with autocrlf = true, git checkouts and git status were translating lf -> crlf (or crlf -> lf) inconsistently, also a bit unpredictably. I ran through clone-checkout-status cycle many times and did not get the same number of 'changed' files every time. Wish I had a cozier feeling about this. Seems my co-workers could be faced with a few issues regarding lf<=>crlf translations. I think I'll scan the forum for discussion. Thanks again. John
