Actually there is something else.

If a file has line-endings that will change, then
     git add --renormalize .
     git commit -m foo
will commit those files.

But I am now also getting files, that show modified, but that can
not be
committed renormalized (0 lines changed).

I believe (but can't demonstrate) that this is a temporary condition.

I now found one, that does not seem temporary at all...

git remote -v

origin  git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git (push)

Switching to a far away commit
git switch -f --detach master
git rev-list master | wc -l

git status shows no modified files


Then switching to  (this is on master branch)
git switch -f --detach a362ee23634
git rev-list a362ee23634 | wc -l

This seems an issue with gitforwindows.

I doubt that it is Git-for-Windows (the .exe), but could easily believe
that the whole scenario is predicated on the Windows line endings and
personal .gitconfigs (some of which may be GfW norms) and the
repository's upstream norms (such as what is committed in the repo).

Given the repos/remotes listed your email in
https://public-inbox.org/git/f454bf5b-c5ff-4140-02a8-b02dcd35c6b9@mfriebe.de/,
What are all your differing configs between Windows & Linux testing and
their location (i.e. use ` git config --list --show-origin --show-scope`).

The comparison you suggest, I believe, is between
master:1b348b6b67dcdc120f5ac9dc409142b8ec2b4a09 (17 Apr 2021) and the
detached https://github.com/User4martin/binutils-gdb/commit/a362ee23634
"recording file death" (8 Dec 1992) (is that the commit you really
wanted to detach and compare with?)

The Github compare wasn't helpful as there are too many changes
[https://github.com/red-prig/binutils-gdb/compare/1b348b6..a362ee23634]

Just thinking about an MVCE.

I checked on 2 linux distros (git 2.25 and 2.31.1) and both are fine.

On Windows I set
core.autocrlf false
core.fscache false

Made a new clone, some (applied config as above), issue still present.

Tested with gitforwindow 2.32, 2.31.1 and 2.30.2
