Trying to fix line-endings with git filter-branch, but having no luck

by

The easiest way to fix this is to make one commit that fixes all the line endings. Assuming that you don’t have any modified files, then you can do this as follows.

# From the root of your repository remove everything from the index
git rm --cached -r .

# Change the autocrlf setting of the repository (you may want 
#  to use true on windows):
git config core.autocrlf input

# Re-add all the deleted files to the index
# (You should get lots of messages like:
#   warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in <file>.)
git diff --cached --name-only -z | xargs -0 git add

# Commit
git commit -m "Fixed crlf issue"

# If you're doing this on a Unix/Mac OSX clone then optionally remove
# the working tree and re-check everything out with the correct line endings.
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 rm
git checkout .
