Oh well, the way line endings are handled in Git and SVN are divergent. Check your .gitconfig against the output of git --help config; especially core.eol, core.safecrlf, and core.autocrlf
Shouldn't the repositories contain a .gitattributes file indicating the eol flavor to be used for text files where it has significance?
Perhaps! I don't know anything about .gitattributes. Where can I find out more? -- Dave Abrahams
