Hi, I solved an issue when trying to modify files from flex-sdk using IntelliJ, and thought some of you may be interested. This is only with IntelliJ, so FB or other IDE users can skip this message.
I was having trouble trying to preserve line endings when committing changes with IntelliJ. Even when I changed only one line to any existing file from flex-sdk, some (but not all ) other lines appeared as being changed as well. As I said, this does not happen with Flashbuilder, nor notepad++. First I thought this was another git option ( eg. core.autocrlf). So I tried up different things, eventually messed up the whole repo and had to clone it back :(. Finally, after comparing the modified files using hex editor, I found the reason for this: IntelliJ 12.1.4 has a general option in Settings > Editor called "Strip trailing spaces on save" with three possible values: Modified lines / All / None. It was set by default to "All". Changing it to "Modified lines" fixed the issue.
