[Ironpython-users] mixed line ending in time.cs and nt.cs

[Pawel Jasinski]

I hope this is the last iteration of the line ending saga.
This is in regards to IronLanguages (2.7) and does not apply to
(ironpython3) 3.x

I am leaning toward conservative approach, which can be summarized with:
- Fix only mixed line endings -> LF only
- No .gitattributes
- core.autocrlf set to false (default)
- Only editors which insert line ends matching the existing ones
should be used (e.g. VS, vim)
- trailing spaces should not be included in changed lines, the
existing ones can stay

Why: the code base has files with CRLF and LF all over the place and I
am not able to access consequences of normalizing everything to LF. I
also don't like distorting history or rewriting it to be LF only.
Comment welcome.
