[postgis-devel] extras/tiger_geocoder/upgrade_geocoder.bat and CRLF

[Regina Obe]

I don't quite understand why this is happening at all.

 

We have in place svnprop that forces these files to have CRLF.

 

We also have in place .gitattributes that if people check out with git also forces bat files to end in CRLF.

 

So why is this a problem?

Hello folks,

 

For what it's worth, as an end user, I'd be happy with a transition to git.

 

I can think of one other option, although it's a little messier.  There could be a CI job that detects and corrects these situations when they occur.  I don't think it would be that painful to set up, although the downside to such a thing is that it basically continues the back-and-forth model that strk referenced.

 

It's worth noting that since this situation has occurred, it's causing some of my builds that use the git repo to fail.  Currently, "git clone" followed by "git checkout" does not work due to the famous "files would be overwritten by checkout" error.  For now, I can get around it with "git checkout --force", but it's worth noting that there could be other users similarly affected.

 

Regards,

  -John

I think it's something about svnprop. Mateusz should know.
I'm too lazy to learn SVN nowadays, how about switching repo to GIT
like it was done for GEOS ? (code under GIT, tickets in trac) -
are we ready now ?
