Re: [mylyn-dev] line ending conversion

[David Green <david.green@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steffen,

If you're inclined feel free to go ahead with a line ending fix for Mylyn Docs as well.  If this line ending problem is coming up within Mylyn Docs I'd like to hear about it, because as far as I know I've setup my Git environment correctly based on these recommendations: http://help.github.com/line-endings/ though I haven't checked to be sure that EGit respects these settings correctly.

Hi committers,

since the move to Git a few of the new files that were created were
checked in with Windows line endings due to limitations of the git
tooling. This causes some inconsistencies and weird rendering in EGit.

To fix this I have converted all files to Unix line endings and set
Unix line endings as the default for all projects following the
Eclipse project conventions:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Git_Workflows#Dealing_with_line_terminators.
A few more details can be found here:

 356790: configure all projects for Unix file endings
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=356790

(I excluded org.eclipse.mylyn.docs and some pathes in
org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews from the conversion to wait for feedback
from affected committers first.)

Please make sure that files committed in the future use Unix line
endings only (configuration hints are on the Wiki page).

Thanks,

Steffen
