Subject: Line ending normalization doesn't work as expected
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 10:00:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHd499B5hM9ixnsnwWwB2uyDT10dRQpN473m5QjxH9raHtFXiw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm on Windows using Git for Windows v2.13.1. Following github's
recommended process for fixing line endings after adding a
`.gitattributes` file[1], I run the following:
$ rm .git/index && git reset
Once I run `git status`, I see that no files have changed. Note that I
know for a fact in my repository, files were committed using CRLF line
endings (the files in question are C# code files, and no
.gitattributes was present at the time).
I also tried this:
$ git rm -r --cached . && git reset --hard
However, again `git status` shows no working copy modifications. The
one thing that *did* work (and I tried this on accident actually) is:
$ git rm -r --cached . && git add .
This properly showed all files in my index with line ending
modifications (I ran `git diff --cached -R` to be sure; the output
shows `^M` at the end of each line in the diff in this case). Note
that my global git config has `core.autocrlf` set to `false`, but I
also tried the top 2 commands above with it set to `true` but it made
no difference.
So my question is: Why do the top 2 commands not work, but the third
one does? To me this all feels like magic / nondeterministic, so I'm
hoping someone here knows what is going on and can explain the logic
of it. Also if this is a git config issue, I'm not sure what it could
be. Note my `.gitattributes` just has this in it:
* text=auto
Thanks in advance.
