Re: [papyrus-rt-dev] Fixing EOLs in the git repository
Hi,

I am only a contributor, trying to learn how to provide Gerrit changes on Papyrus-RT. I have been struggling with these EOL issues when trying to setup my environment. I am working on Windows with EGit only. I have after my initial "trial and error" when trying to setup my environment, set autocrlf = auto, which seem to cause least head-ache for me and so far produced the least amount of EOL issues. I did however get one case of EOL issues in my latest Gerrit change (https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/68317/) where one of the test-models was affected. But I see that in your Gerrit change, you have also updated that same model file.

Anyway, I really hope that I can continue contributing Gerrit changes using this setup, i.e. Windows and EGit only, without causing too much head-ache for others (I really try to keep an eye on any EOL issues, since I do not want to generate too many changes in the Gerrit patches I contribute).

Hello Papyrus-RT team,

I am starting to work on contributions to the Papyrus-RT project and, as I am developing on Mac platform and prefer to do rebases and other complex git operations on the command-line, I am stymied by EOL errors [1[] that force files into the modified state in my checkout.  This happens because the papyrus-rt repository’s .gitattributes file overrides my global autocrlf configuration.

To address this, I have published a Gerrit patch [2] for your consideration that cleans up the current EOL errors.  I’d appreciate it if somebody from the team could have a look at this patch.  Also, do all of the committers on the team generally use command-line git?  Or do you use EGit mostly?  I ask because of the possibility that EOL errors may continually be introduced because EGit doesn’t recognize the .gitattributes.

Thanks!

Christian
