Hi,
Following my previous email "Tracking vendor release with Git" [1][2],
and the advice from Git users/developers, I'm trying to use
.gitattributes
to handle CRLF/LF conversion.
While testing the behavor of Git regarding CRLF handling,
when core.safecrlf is set to true, I've found that "git diff" is
returning
"fatal: CRLF would be replaced by LF" without returning any kind of
diff.
This make me wonder if its the correct behavor for git diff to (only)
fail:
It should be fatal for git add / git commit ( / git cherry-pick / ...
?),
but non fatal for git diff.
According to the documentation git-config(5) [3]:
"Git will verify if a command modifies a file in the work tree either
directly or indirectly"
I don't thing "git diff" is an operation that could modify a file.
Regards.
