wohali commented on issue #367: Use only unix line feeds (LF) URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/367#issuecomment-287656977 I'm not sure how I feel about this. Files like configure.ps1 and Makefile.win are only used on Windows machines and must contain CRLF endings. If you move them to LF only, autoconversion *must* happen or the build will fail. But the configuration of `core.autocrlf` on a Windows developer's machine could cause this to fail. Also see the commentary here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29435156/what-will-text-auto-eol-lf-in-gitattributes-do and especially the link to the CHANGELOG for Git 2.10. Under your proposed change what is the _correct_ way for a Windows developer to configure their git such that a checkout will have the correct line endings, and that when they create/edit new files, that they receive the correct line endings? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
