Description Jay Alameda CLA 2014-08-12 11:26:27 EDT 
With synchronized projects, files that originate on Windows machines seem to acquire windows line termination characters, even if the files were originally linux/unix files, and are being synchronized to linux systems.

This should be easy to fix by setting core.autocrlf to true. As a temporary workaround this should even be possible to do manually. Set it in .ptp-sync/config on the Windows machine.

I hesitate to add this flag, because it can possibly corrupt files. Also, Eclipse provides an easy way to deal with line endings, which I just discovered:

Should this be closed then?
