As Blair noted, CRLF.
Note: I’ve been informed by people that can see deeper into these things that
the WiX Git repo is a mess. Hypothesis is that somewhere in translation from hg
to git plus who knows what mistakes I made originally while still getting the
hang of everything created a bunch of CRLF files in the Git database. That’s
unusual in the Git world. So the text=CRLF is apparently a magical way to make
the whole Git world CRLF and was the best option for the WiX repo.
If you have non-CRLF files, it’s possible they came down before the big
cleanup. They should all be CRLF. If you have questions, ask around and see
what others have. For the files you listed, I have CRLF now.

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] WiX line endings - LF or CRLF?
CRLF

I'm having trouble understanding what the line endings are supposed to be. In
the wix39 branch, History.md has only LF but tools\wix\Binder.cs has only CRLF.
In the wix40 branch, both of those files only have LF. In the .gitattributes
for both branches, it has this entry:
# Auto detect text files and perform LF normalization
* text=CRLF
It looks like this is trying to set everything to be CRLF, but this doesn't
look like a valid option for the text attribute
(https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings). I think it's
supposed to be
* text eol=crlf
What's it supposed to be?
Thanks,
Sean
