I've been playing around with Git in the
past couple months, and have been really enjoying it. Paired with
subversion, I get the best of all worlds -- distributed source control when
I want it (working on new features or trying out performance tuning), and
non-distributed source control for my public commits.
Github
suggests that when working with remote repositories, you turn on the
autocrlf option, which ensures that changes in line endings do not get
accounted for when pushing to and pulling from the remote repo. However,
when working with git-svn, this actually causes issues. After turning this
option on, I started getting the error "Delta source ended unexpectedly"
from git-svn. After a bunch of aimless tinkering, I finally asked myself the
questions, "When did this start happening?" and, "Have I changed anything
with Git lately?" Once I'd backed out the config change, all started working
again.
In summary: don't use "git config --global core.autocrlf true" when using
git-svn.
