[Monotone-devel] Re: Problems checking out in windows - extra LF?

[Andy Jones]

My current thinking is that this is a problem with mtn cat.  Whether or not the get_system_linesep function is set it seems to output files ending in LF. 

 

And of course, once that file is recommitted, that's how it stays - hence my confusion yesterday.

 

What's the procedure for adding this to the bug list?  I don't see it in savannah - but I could be wrong...

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 0.25.2 to 0.27 and I'm now getting a problem where when I check out files I see binary characters on the end of each line (presumably LF, but given the tools I have to hand proving that is going to be difficult to prove).

I've now got get_system_linesep() returning "CRLF" which is presumably right?  But it seems to make no difference.

Has anyone got a monotonerc they use under windows that they'd be willing to share?

Or can someone give me some pointers to what might be happening?


BTW I've also tried:

<code>
function get_linesep_conv(filename)
    return {"LF","CRLF"}
end
</code>

...but that gives me a blank line between each line of the file...

Thanks,
 

Andy.
