Description Daniel Sokolowski CLA 2016-07-06 22:33:48 EDT 
When comparing working diretory with a commit the 'Synchronize' view lists false positives due to line ending differences only. As per Bug 361503 comment-9 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=361503#c9) it appears the culprit might be EGit. Please kindly look into it as this issue is totally maddening in a Windows/Linux/Mac team setting - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=262953

Marking major due to length of existence of bug and usability impact.

Is this still an issue with recent EGit? There have been a number of fixes related to cr-lf handling since 2016.

If it is still an issue, we would need a publicly accessible git repo that shows the problem and clear reproduction steps, plus complete info about the cr-lf related git settings including settings coming from .gitattributes files. Also what line ending and encoding is set in Eclipse. Without all that we won't have a chance to reproduce this, and if we can't reproduce it, we cannot track it down and fix it.
