We have two issues currently extant:
1. Some files that were deleted in SVN history are still present in the Git HEAD
Unless this effects more than the few header files in two libraries we already discussed, I don't think it is worth worrying about. You have already put in vast amounts of time on this project, and spending time with friends and family is worth more than a few extra files, IMO.
2. Some people are dissatisfied with the way line endings are handled, especially on Windows
I didn't expect to spend my Thanksgiving vacation working on this stuff, but I am getting myself set up to diagnose and fix #1.
I am not going to try to fix #2, mostly because it's too open-ended, and there isn't even a consensus in the community about what a fix should look like. If a consensus is formed around a desired outcome, I am willing to at _least_ help in an advisory capacity, in which case someone should send me a personal email.
That's fine. I'll propose renormalization in a separate thread, probably tomorrow. --Beman
