Re: [orion-dev] line delimiters and non-jgit repositories

[Felipe Heidrich <Felipe_Heidrich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Susan, 
If  you don't use autocrlf true
then you have to use orion editor to edit your files.

This is what happens, I'll assume you
are working on Windows, without autocrlf true all files in your local repo
will use LF (like the files in the remote). Native editor (notepad, eclipse,
etc) will enter CRLF in your file causing the file to have again a mix
of CRLF and LF that we would like to avoid. Note that some editors (like
Eclipse) allows you to choose what line delimiter to use, so in theory
you should be able to use them as long as you set line delimiter to LF
(I didn't test it).

The orion editor will detect what line
delimiter is already in the file and use it (avoid mixing CRLF-LF).

I would also recommend to you (and everybody
else working on org.eclipse.orion.client) to:
1 - pull 
2 -  delete all the files from
your working dir
3 - checkout master

This will make sure all files are changed
to the correct line delimiter (I tried git reset hard but it didn't replace
the files that had only the line delimiter changed).

Regards
Felipe

As I understand bug 349096, we are now to use autocrlf=true
in order to avoid the mixed line delimiter problem.
But we turned autocrlf to false when we discovered bug 339397.

Can someone please look at my latest comment in the line delimiter bug
and confirm or deny that we are kind of hosed? [1]
I'm not sure we have a workable workflow where someone can use command
line git repos linked into Orion.
