I guess you're right, probably not worth the effort (although I think that the spuriously modified files are just as "bad" in this case). Thanks a lot for your work on this, it scratched all my CRLF itches at least. I'm maintaining my own personal patches on top of quite a few git-svn mirrors and git-hg mirrors. Before git 1.7.2, rebasing these on Windows was a pain. I even maintained my own .gitattributes files for many of them, but still had problems. Now all is solved! - Thomas
