Subject: git blame swallows up lines in case of mixed line endings
Message-ID: <71BF70CE41AEE741896AF3A5450D86F11F2D1F46@DEFTHW99EH3MSX.ww902.siemens.net>

Hi Folks,

I encounter unexpected behavior in the following case:

file content:

line1<CR><LF>
line2<CR>
line3<CR><LF>
line4

This is what I get as console output (on Windows):

> git blame -s file.txt
7db36436 1) line1
line3436 2) line2
7db36436 3) line4

This is the real content:

> git blame -s file.txt > blame.txt

blame.txt opened in Notepad++:

7db36436 1) line1 <CR><LF>
7db36436 2) line2 <CR>
line3 <CR><LF>
7db36436 3) line4 <LF>

Admittedly, very stupid editors, such as Windows Notepad, cannot handle mixed line endings as well. But is this also the way git blame should behave?

Kind regards
Konstantin
