Thanks, I already suspected something like that. Has this behavior been changed/added recently ? I didn't observe it before, although the project I'm currently looking into has always been using CR+LF... Why does the ^M only show up in '+' lines ? When changing the line end from CR+LF to LF, the diff looks like this: -blahblah +blahblah But I would expect it to be -blahblah^M +blahblah Regards, Frank > If you want, you can commit those files with > CRLF in the working tree, and LF in the repo. > > More information may be found here: > > https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes > > (Or ask more questions here, if needed)
