That would help in diff, but 'mtn status' doesn't use diff to detect changes; it uses calculate_ident. So it would not solve the main problem. > And then, we could of course invent and implement a custom attribute, > like mtn:native_eol, and mangle the line endings in attr_init_function. Yes. But that also does not address 'mtn status'. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
