Description Fabian Schmidt CLA 2011-11-24 07:15:04 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When synchronising the workspace eclipse finds a lot of whitespace changes. However checking with mysysgit from the gitbash only the actual changes are found. The Problem also affects other users http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/209456/
The behaviour renders the whole plugin useless.

Its probably easier reprucible but that worked for me
For info the workspace previously used svn, in my gitignore i have .svn and .metadata

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Had existing workspace and put a git repository around it
2. Cloned the repository
3. Opened the new workspace
4. imported the existing projects
5. did team -> share project
6. ticked git and then repo in parent folder
7. after that was finised i marked everything and did team -> syncronize workspace
8. way to many changes due to whitespaces

What are your core.autocrlf settings ? JGit and EGit as of now only support core.autocrlf=false.
See bug 301775.

I checked Team->Git->Configuration and I did not find a core.autocrlf setting so I assume its the standard setting what ever that is.

I just realised taht I created and cloned the git repository with mysysgit, which sets the lineendings automatically, so probably thats the problem if git changes it to unix lineendings and i am working on a windows machine. If EGit does not work with that, then I guess those are the differences
Comment 4 Fabian Schmidt CLA 2011-12-05 09:42:07 EST 
As it turns out the reason is egits inability to auto handle line endings
