Bug ID: 55751
Summary: Description of filesmatch textfile attribute behavior
is wrong
Product: Ant
Version: 1.9.2
Hardware: PC
OS: Mac OS X 10.4
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

File with unix linebreaks
In the documentation for the filesmatch condition at
https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/conditions.html#filesmatch
It says the following regarding the textfile attribute:
"Whether to ignore line endings when comparing files; defaults to false, while
true triggers a binary comparison. Since Ant 1.7"
This is wrong based on my empirical testing of ant 1.9.2. I believe when
textfile is set to false, it performs a binary comparison. When it's set to
true, it appears to ignore newlines. This makes more sense given the name of
the attribute.
