Hi, I wonder if it is possible both to have LFs in all and only text files in working trees, and keep Git’s binary files auto-detection?
To be more precise: * we want all text files to be checked out in LF; * we don’t want force people to set “core.autocrlf” to false, preferring to keep this configuration in .gitattributes; * we obviously don’t want binary files to be touched by eol-normalization; * we also don’t want to declare all possible patterns of binary files - Git is good enough in detecting them automatically. However, I’ve found no way to do so. If I declare `* eol=lf` in .gitattributes, it makes Git treat all files as text and thus convert CRLF to LF even in binary files. It is consistent with man, but a bit surprising to have e.g. a zip or png file modified in this way. One could expect `* text=auto eol=lf` to work the way we want, but unfortunately it doesn’t work either: “eol=lf” forces “text” on all files. Thanks a lot for your help! -- Kirill. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
