If you are making the above statements in generally about git, I disagree. I have used msysgit a lot with unix-newlines projects, and it works fantastic. I am careful to work with newline-smart editors but any half-decent editor will cope. The general hint is: avoid any content-mangling options if possible, and git will do the right thing.

OTOH, you might be referring to git-svn on Windows, which I have no experience with :-)

cheers,
martin
