I need to correct mysef, a litte bit, this doesn't seem to be a bug, but a
feature.
There are 2 things to be noticed:
- The xml file has been commited with CRLF
- git am strips the CR (because they -may- have been added by a mail program)
There are 2 different solutions:
a) Use git am --keep-cr
b) "Normalize" the xml file(s), and commit them to have LF in the repo,
they can still have CRLF in the work tree, if needed.
This is done by
echo "*.xml text" >>.gitattributes
touch *.xml
git add *.xml .gitattributes
git commit -m "Normalize xml files"
If you really need the xml files with CRLF, use this line instead:
echo "*.xml eol=CRLF" >>.gitattributes
