I just cloned the modularized Boost repository from Github [1]. Right after the clone is done, git status gives me a complete diff on bootstrap.bat (so probably line endings).

I do have autocrlf = true in my system configuration, so this shouldn't be the problem, right?

It very well might be the problem.

I also had autocrlf = true on my Windows machine, so set it to false and tried a fresh clone. .\bootstrap failed! Couldn't find compiler configuration files. Oddly, bootstrap.bat still had cr/lf line endings, and was identical to the version cloned with autocrlf = true, even though many other files differed in line endings. --Beman
