CRLF

[thekaganugur]

Description

I'm working on a project that is mostly developed by Windows users while I'm on WSL2. When opening any file with Windows line endings (\r\n) every line is reported as being changed, so that gitsigns is not useful anymore working on these buffers.

Neovim version

0.9.1

Operating system and version

Windows11 with WSL2

Expected behavior

If there is no difference except line endings gitsgings should ignore it.

Here is an example of Vscode

Actual behavior

Minimal config

for name, url in pairs{
  gitsigns = 'https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim',
} do
  local install_path = vim.fn.fnamemodify('gitsigns_issue/'..name, ':p')
  if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
    vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', url, install_path }
  end
  vim.opt.runtimepath:append(install_path)
end

require('gitsigns').setup{
  debug_mode = true, -- You must add this to enable debug messages
}

Steps to reproduce

1. nvim --clean -u minimal.lua
2. Open a file that is saved with windows line endings while on linux.

I've tried to implement this correctly by tracking the input and working crlf settings in git, but obviously this doesn't work fully across the full myriad of windows setups.

Unfortunately I don't use windows or have access to it, so I rely on contributions to support this.

The testsuite has an exact test for the minimal repro provided here, so that clearly isn't enough to produce the issue:

For me this was happening when I had a file with lf endings, but my .editorconfig had end_of_line = crlf. So, neovim was picking that up with the builtin .editorconfig support: https://neovim.io/doc/user/editorconfig.html#editorconfig_end_of_line and setting fileformat to dos in the buffer.

I changed my .editorconfig end_of_line to lf and the issue went away after closing/opening neovim. Checking set fileformat? returns unix after the change in my .editorconfig.
