  1. POCan git-svn be made to handle CRLF like native subversion clients?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a subversion repository hosted on Linux but only ever accessed via windows clients as it's for the source of a large Windows application.</p> <p>It would be awesome if I could work on this repository using git-svn (provided by msysgit).</p> <p>I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the repository to not get itself in a jam over the windows style line endings.</p> <p>After <code>svn clone</code> a checkout of the git repository with: </p> <ul> <li><code>core.autocrlf = true</code> shows modifications to any file which actually does use <code>LF</code> in the repository.</li> <li><code>core.autocrlf = input</code> shows modifications to any file which actually does use <code>LF</code> in the repository.</li> <li><code>core.autocrlf = false</code> shows modifications to everything.</li> </ul> <p>What's the best option here? Should I use <code>core.autocrlf = true</code> and commit the <code>LF</code> to <code>CRLF</code> changes for affected files?</p> <p>I'm very close to throwing in the towel and just putting my Subversion working copy into a git repository. This would be a poor solution but would at least allow local branches and stashes. It will obviously become a huge pain to keep adding files when they are added to subversion.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> For those who are interested. <code>git-svn</code> is a royal pain if you are on Windows. hasen j's answer below is probably the right one but I can't follow his advice without attracting the ire of the other developers in my team.</p> <p>I'm essentially abandoning this question since it isn't going to lead to a reasonable outcome. Hopefully the next Google Summer of Code will attract someone who wants to pickup their "Proper git-svn support on Windows" project.
