Hi,

now that mod_dontdothat has been relaxed (at least for the eu mirror),
I'm running into CRLF issues. Any Git users around?

(on win&linux:)
With core.autocrlf = false, everything works almost fine, except for
merging and diffing: In this case git does not recognize that not the
whole file has changed but only regions -> causing a
non-trivial-conflict.

If I change core.autocrlf to input or true, each fresh checkout is
polluted with initial changes, claiming that CRLF will converted to
LF. After committing that locally everything works fine. I assume that
Ode's code base contains different line-endings, sometimes even both
styles in one file. According to some mailinglist entries [1], there
are two solutions:
  a) Do a large commit to git and then to svn, that unified the line endings
  b) Do a cumbersome git filter-branch to rewrite the history and
unify line-endings for each file in each revision.

I don't like either of them... Do you guys have made similar
experiences and/or suggestions?

Cheers,
  Tammo
