I created a brand new fork, and then cloned from that when checking the line 
endings.   I set up my git default to download without touching the line 
endings.  Since some files have LF and some have CRLF, I know that my 
configuration is applying.
 
Also, I know that my History.md files in my pull requests last week had CRLF.  
Since they conflicted, that means that the repo had LF.

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.

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,
