Bug with line endings on git.

From: PugzAreCute <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-30 17:50:26

Hello, 
I want to report a bug with git that causes "empty" commits if the line ending of a file is changed.

For example: https://github.com/PugzAreCute/RFOEC/commit/31f5189cac3e076252372d634708b875a364dece.patch (patch) / https://github.com/PugzAreCute/RFOEC/commit/31f5189cac3e076252372d634708b875a364dece (commit)

First seen by me on https://github.com/PugsMods/WoneWay/commit/fe58a091498eb5d891e351dba0273fd8e6d4d283 / https://github.com/PugsMods/WoneWay/commit/fe58a091498eb5d891e351dba0273fd8e6d4d283.patch


Happy to provide more info!

Thanks,

More info would be appreciated.
Are you working under Windows ?

Both commits (31f5189cac3e076252372d634708b875a364dece and
be50904c84b56926f9f7f9912af6456edab82ca1) have the same content:

git ls-files -s

100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0       COMMIT
100644 0eb95c07f7dd518679684826ff9ea516010c3847 0       README.md

So what exactly did you change ?
The line endings in the working tree ?
What does
git config --get  core.autocrlf
give you ?
Thanks,

Using Debian 11 (amd64)
The only thing that was changed in the comments were the line endings. ie: CRLF to LF and vice versa

I can confirm this is only effecting installs with autocrlf disabled. On my local machine, I have enabled autocrlf and I cannot reproduce the bug.
But if you want to test it, you could use https://github.dev/ as it has autocrlf disabled.

Ouptput of git config --get core.autocrlf:
pugzarecute@debinax:~$ git config --get core.autocrlf
input

Thanks,
