Linefeeds are nothing to git - it tracks the entire content of the file. When you ask to see the diff between two versions of a file, that's when lines start to have meaning - and if you configure in your own difftool, you're welcome to compare files in arbitrary ways. It's not for the sake of source control that code is in lines of text - it's for the sake of humans. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
