My, somewhat personally, suggestion: If there is more than one developer, don't use core.autocrlf at all- it is a local setting, which doesn't travel through the repo, and is slightly different in Git Egit, depending on the version. Git for Windows has it enabled by default, Cygwin has not. Which Git versions are you using ? How many people are there involved, how many on Windows, how many on Linux ? Do you want to commit to svn, or is this a one-time conversion ? If it is a one-time conversion, and you continue to work in Git only, then the cleanest, most portable and future proof way is to use the .gitattributes file, add that to the repo, do the normalization and push. A line like this: * text=auto is the easiest way. Have a look at https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html take a tee or coffee, do some experiments first with a dummy repo, but all the client OS/Gits involved. Please let us know the result (or feel free to ask more questions)
