This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
As the summary says: the Diff view must have an option to take EOLs into account. For motivation, here's what I just did: - open a file with Linux EOLs - make a simple change & save the file (due to bug 262762 the EOLs have been changed to Windows EOLs at this point) - do a git "Diff To HEAD" with NetBeans' diff view: everything looks perfect, just the few trivial changes are marked (and in the options I have all Diff-related options unchecked, so nothing is ignored) - do a git commit & push... only to find out afterwards that git marked the whole file as changed, due to the changed EOLs. Needless to say this causes a lot of frustration. Basically, I want to be able to configure NetBeans' Diff to work exactly the same as "git diff". In other words: it must be possible to mark "any" difference (another example being bug 250428).

You know, with Git on Windows, you should always setup core.autocrlf=true. If this was set, git commit would automatically convert CRLF back to Unix line-endings.

I don't want Git to do EOL handling (at least not with a rudimentary setting like core.autocrlf. Maybe with a .gitattributes file, but I don't have experience with that & not sure if NetBeans' git supports it anyway). The problem is that NetBeans changes my EOLs unnoticed (bug 262762), and that the Diff view doesn't allow me to detect such unwanted changes (this issue).
