From: Steffen Prohaska Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 09:34:13 GMT Subject: [PATCH] init-db: Store current value of autocrlf Message-ID: In-Reply-To: Storing the current value of autocrlf to preserve it for this repository even if the global setup changes is a good idea. Changing autocrlf later is tricky because the work tree's line endings depend on the settings during checkout. Therefore, it makes sense to preserve the value of autocrlf that exists during the first checkout. In this regards autocrlf is different from, for example, author, because author can be easily changed later without requiring any conversion of existing files in the work tree. This commit modifies the initialization of a new repository to store the current value of autocrlf.
