[cross-project-issues-dev] EGit / line ending problems with simrel repo
|
Hi,
I'm working on a Windows box and my clone of org.eclipse.simrel.build marks files dirty that I have not touched myself.
Currently this is the case for:
mdt-ocl.b2aggrcon
webtools.b2aggrcon
My Git system config file contains:
[core]
autocrlf = true
Egit displays no values for the *system* configuration in the properties view (UI bug? core bug? any bug??).
Egit displays a duplicate value ("[true][true]") for the *global* configuration in the properties view (UI bug? core
bug? any bug??).
Hard reset with EGit does nothing (bug?).
Double-click on the dirty files in the staging view opens a Compare editor with no changes, both with or without "Ignore
Whitespace Changes" (bug?).
The only way for me to solve this is very strange: I have to open a native Git shell and just execute "git status". One
would think that's a pure read access command but mysteriously it removes the bogus changes from my workspace (or the
EGit index?).
The EGit team tries to blame the Platform Compare framework ( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=361503 ),
which I can hardly believe. At no time in my 30 years computer life I had such fundamental problems with line ending
characters (which I believe are the root cause). This all started with the advent of EGit.
Am I the only one with these problems, so that I have to revist my config again (which I've done a hundred times already)?
Cheers
/Eike
