Hi, Benoit, Quentin,
Thanks for your responses. Not the first time I suppose wrongly, by a long shot! Perhaps you are not seeing line conversions in git because you are on a platform (Windows) whose native line-ending convention matches what is now configured in the .gitattributes?
I’m not certain that I’m having this problem because I have modified so many files in my local repository. Yes, I’ve touched thousands in the last couple of months, but amongst these 15800 files are a great many that I have never had occasion to touch for any reason (for example, in the developer documents tree, various OpenOffice files). You can understand that I am nervous about pushing a change like this, but I don't know even whether it would actually modify the central git repo or only my clone’s view of it (what line endings do these files actually have at git.eclipse.org?). Any other votes for or against proceeding with this conversion?

Hi again,
It seems that my problem resided in the fact that I forgot to set
the Unix formatting in my new eclipse installation... setting the
correct parameters (as well as setting the core.autocrlf to false)
seem to bring me back to the correct git behavior.
I will verify that it will not break again in the next few
days and update the wiki (if it was not already mentioned) with the
necessary information on how to do it.
Quentin
