I'm using eclipse egit with github. I found something strange that I didn't change anything, but egit marked the file as "changed". See the images:

  1. the file "run.bat" is marked as "changed"

  2. Compare with "file in Git index", you can see nothing is different

    enter image description here

  3. Compare with "file in HEAD", you can see nothing is different neither

My friend uses mac and I use windows, but we all configured git as "commit unix lineend".. I also checked the lineend of my source and the HEAD, they are the same(I configured git to convert them to "\r\n" when pulling)

Where is wrong? Is it a bug of Egit?

Eclipse Preferences / Team / Git / Configuration / User Settings

("core" section)

key: autocrlf
value: false

The key should already exist, so just need to edit the value.

If creating a new key then use core.autocrlf.
