Ahem. I thought that according to your claim a UNIX tool like "grep" would alway use LF endings? ;-) > As we do not want to validate the way the available `grep` works, let's > just mark the input as LF-only and move on. I agree with this conclusion; just like we do not want to worry about how `grep` works when given CRLF files in this patch, we do not want to worry about how other commands like `sh` works when given CRLF files. And that is consistent with the overall theme of this series that marked *.sh, *.perl and other files with eol=lf attribute. The only question I still have with this series is about the README/COPYING thing. I _think_ it was my ancient mistake to use the toplevel README and COPYING as test files, and that mistake was corrected by somebody else earlier by having a frozen copy in t/diff-lib/ and making tests use these files from that directory. If we broke our tests to again use these files from outside t/diff-lib/, then we would need to fix the tests not to do so. And if we are only looking at t/diff-lib/ copy, then I think it is more consistent with the rest of this series to mark them with eol=lf rather than passing them through "tr -d '\015'".
