After our lovely thread entitled "EOL character used in .lfm files keep changing", I decided to prove my point that there is a bug in the Form Designer. I used a different computer, the latest Lazarus from SubVersion (trunk) and the svn command line client (please note I did NOT use the git mirror repository or any part of git for this bug report). So please don't make this a git vs subversion debate again.

The seems to have nothing to do with the repository, but only with the Form Designer, and subversion clients giving false information by ignoring eol style changes.

I don't know if this bug is also an issue under Mac OS X platforms. I have no way of testing.

Thanks Mattias. I tested it and it works fine now - even if I use the SubVersion or Git repository. Luckily I used Git otherwise we would never have found that bug. ;-)

It's also handy to know that subversion clients simply ignore eol style differences when it does a diff.

Well, as it seems to be a Lazarus-bug after all and not a Git-problem, I owe you a apology for making it a Git-problem.

I got blindfolded by your Git-comments and my awful first encounter with Git.

well, i ignored the whole thread once i realised it was turning into another boring, ill-constructed git vs. svn argument.

It was truly not my intention to have it become a git vs subversion argument. We went through that before, and I had no intention for a repeat.

Use whatever tool you feel comfortable with and that gets the job done. We have one goal in mind and that is making Lazarus better.

saying stuff like "I guess another one of the hordes of SubVersion limitations" doesn't really help, since you insult the tool people use, therefore insulting them, indirectly. that's a sure-fire way to attract negative attention.

i agree.
