Alexander Kriegisch commented on MRELEASE-899: ---------------------------------------------- I am a user, not a maintainer. I am reporting a backward compatibility issue. Why are you dismissing it like it was nothing and I was too stupid to use your plugin or Git correctly? BTW, I have created a corresponding issue [here](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/315). Maybe you can talk to the Git for Windows maintainer and sort it out together so as to get it working again. > release:prepare should not change the line separator > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-899 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-899 > Project: Maven Release Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ralph van Etten > > Currently the plugin use the system property {{line.separator}} when it > rewrites the pom.xml. > This causes trouble, because every line in changed, when a project is > released sometimes under Windows and sometimes under Linux (because of its > different line separators). > (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11868590/maven-release-plugin-and-windows-line-breaks) > Therefore it would be a nice feature when the plugin would not use the > systems line separator but the line separator that is already used in the > pom.xml. > On the other hand, changing the existing behaviour would maybe, also harm > someone else. > Therefore it would be an great feature when there would be an property that > define the expected behaviour, maybe in the same way it is done by the > maven-assembly-plugin's property fileSet.lineEnding > (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/component.html#class_fileSet) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
