I'm experiencing the same issues as in this question: git status shows modifications, git checkout -- <file> doesn't remove them
Git continues to show working directory modifications, even with git config --global core.autocrlf false
:
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git config --get-all core.autocrlf
false
false
(Note that I've even set the --system
setting to be false
)
Why does it appear that Git is still modifying my end of lines?
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git status
# On branch master
# 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: tools/StatLight/StatLight.EULA.txt
... more changes ...
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git checkout -- .
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git status
# On branch master
# 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: tools/StatLight/StatLight.EULA.txt
... more changes ...
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
Occasionally this will have an effect in an odd way:
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~628 -0]> git checkout -- .
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~361 -0]> git checkout -- .
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git checkout -- .
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git checkout -- .
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git checkout -- .
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git reset --hard

E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]>
E:\_dev\github\Core [master +0 ~93 -0]> git add .
... warnings ....

This seems like a bug in msysgit indeed. As a workaround, try creating a .gitattributes file containing
* -text
This will tell git not to perform EOL conversions on any files.
