Hi,
I have a strange line ending issue with git. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. But it's really strange. Below are the steps to reproduce what I saw:
1. $ git clone ssh://anonymous@firewall-sources.blackfin.uclinux.org:443/git/readonly-mirrors/toolchain.git
$ cd toolchain
2. $ git status # On branch trunk nothing to commit, working directory clean
3. $ rm -rf libusb/msvc/libusb.dsw
4. $ git checkout libusb/msvc/libusb.dsw
5. $ git status # On branch trunk # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: libusb/msvc/libusb.dsw # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
6. $ git reset --hard
7. $ git status # On branch trunk # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: libusb/msvc/libusb.dsw # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
8. libusb.dsw is in DOS format. I changed CR-LF to CR-CR-LF in libusb.dsw with a tool I modified from dos2unix.
9. $ git status # On branch trunk nothing to commit, working directory clean
I tested with git 1.7.10.4 from Debian and git 1.8.0 built by myself. Both have same result.
Thank you.
