CRLF for Windows files [message #720281]

We migrated our CVS repository to Git. Now I get all the former CVS
ASCII files with wrong line delimiters (LF) when I clone the repository
on my Windows machine.

What do I need to do to get valid line delimiters for my former CVS
ASCII files?

Have you set the git config parameter "core.autocrlf"? If you set it to false
git will not modify the line endings when you checkout or add.

I thought this is not yet supported by JGIT/EGit
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/301775).

Also, how would EGit determine which files are text/ASCII? I could not
find a property or preference that shows this or would allow to set this
on a file.

It is partially supported, but apparently not completely.

JGit looks for a nul byte among the first 8k characters in order to
make its guess. In particular the .gitattributes are not yet
supported.
