Hi

I have two git projects: -one (A) with linux people only -one (B) with someone using windows

As we had "end of line" problems with the person using windows (B), I used:
git config --global core.autocrlf true

Following advices from: http://help.github.com/dealing-with-lineendings/

So everything now if fine with project B, but now some problems using project (A): I wanted to copy the whole project file to another dir, and now it is complaining about the change, signaling warning:

CRLF will be replaced by LF in .../A.

So I don't know exactly what I should do...Should I change all the CRLF from project A, but people will have also problems, or can I switch the config, once I'm using project A and B? It is not so clear in my mind and I would appreciate any advice!!

Thanks a lot
