Other plugins respect the existing line separator in a file, Maven Release also did when I used it with the previous Git version, but no longer with this one. It just irritates me to see huge diffs after {{release:prepare}}. I dislike the fact that a single Maven plugin decides to change the line separator in all my POMs while my editors and IDEs as well as other Maven plugins respect it. was (Author: kriegaex): Well, I prefer to configure my Git with option "check out as-is, commit UNIX".
