Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-09-06 05:57:54 EDT 
Configure "New text file line delimiter" to Unix for all projects hosted in Git. The background is that EGit does not always convert line endings properly from Windows to Unix on commit.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-09-13 08:30:12 EDT 
I have gone ahead and done this for the Mylyn Reviews projects located under gerrit and framework. I have also converted existing files in those projects.
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-11-22 10:41:06 EST 
Reopening since this now affects all projects. Policy for Eclipse project: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Git_Workflows#Dealing_with_line_terminators.
Comment 3 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-11-24 08:18:33 EST 
Conversion scripts:

find -type f -not -path "*.git*" | xargs -i dos2unix {}
find -name .settings | xargs -i cp /tmp/org.eclipse.core.runtime.prefs {}

I excluded the following pathes:
 
 org.eclipse.mylyn.docs
 org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews/framework/org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews.frame.core/
 org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews/r4e/
 org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews/tbr/

David, okay to convert the Mylyn Docs repository (would affect ~50 files)?

Yes, absolutely.  This is a pain, so thanks for offering to do this.
Comment 6 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-12-02 07:25:30 EST 
Done.
