turn off "LF will be replaced by CRLF" thingy

Dear All,

I was just in the process of creating our first live version on git (5k+ 
files), when I noticed this in the output of

$ git add .

being "Warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in <filename>"
about 500 times !!

I'd rather not let git change any files, many of which are PHP that run on 
Apache
I think I remember reading that this is a config option that gets swithced 
on by default on windows (which we are running git on)

how do I switch it off ?

thanks 

OK, lets be brave and see if I can work this out:

Tutorial says:

"The git configuration file contains a number of variables that affect the 
git command's behavior. .git/config file for each repository is used to 
store the information for that repository, and $HOME/.gitconfig is used to 
store per user information to give fallback values for .git/config file. The 
file /etc/gitconfig can be used to store system-wide defaults."

.git/config
======
[core]
 repositoryformatversion = 0
 filemode = false
 bare = false
 logallrefupdates = true
 symlinks = false
 ignorecase = true


$ echo $HOME
gives:
c\docs and settings\<my name>

$HOME\.gitconfig
=============
[gui]
 recentrepo = C:/Documents and Settings/conorr/Desktop/TEMP
 recentrepo = C:/Documents and Settings/conorr/Desktop/TEMP/swproj
[user]
 email = cr@altmore.co.uk
 name = Conor Rafferty

/etc/gitconfig  (under Git installation)
===============================
[core]
 symlinks = false
 autocrlf = true
[color]
 diff = auto
[pack]
 packSizeLimit = 2g
[help]
 format = html


Then tuturial -> the two settings are
core.autocrlf
and
core.safecrlf

So I should set the autocrlf=false in the etc/config file I'm guessing?
lets try that

git config core.autocrlf false

or if you want to ensure that all your text files have only LF then

git config core.autocrlf input

or if you want to disable conversion for some specific files then you can
use 'crlf' attribute. See 'gitattributes' for more information.

Thanks Dmitry,

So I have two options to do this - edit the files direct or issue a command, 
thank you !

Now, my next problem is taking all my changes ($ git add .  -> puts 5k files 
into index, with LF in place of CRLF) out of the index.

Because I haven't committed anything in this repo yet...

$ git reset --hard

....falls over, as it has no HEAD to reset to

I think I read how to do this in a tutorial somewhere, maybe with 
git-checkout, but I'm searching and can't find it.
Any kind soul can point me in the right direction ?

thanks !

I think if you just do a git add . again it will put the files into the 
index without doing the conversion.

Hi David & thanks for helping me out,

So I tried again to do

$ git add .

this time no warnings about CRLF / LF, in fact no output, so not sure if it 
did anything (though took some time to process)

$ git status

Shows all the files in the index ok, but I don't know if it was the first 
git add or the second (post CRLF=false config change) that put them there 
....

I'd like to be certain, as 500 out of 5000 files could just get changed here 
!

I know I could just delete everything in .git dir, and git init again

But I'm after the intelligent way to do this :-(

"git reset" will unstage all your changes.  You can then issue another "git 
add" to stage what you want, and see any warnings or errors.
