* "git clone --recursive http://github.com/boostorg/boost
modular-boost" is mostly working fine here (on Win7) but is producing
one set of error messages:
Cloning into 'libs/assign'...
fatal: reference is not a tree: 57ec5d1534810090649b18c88e66a46f48cdcf1c

The remaining hiccups are in the root directory, comparing trunk to master:
* boost.css is missing content from revisions 36243 and 53553.
* boost-build.jam has different comments and history. Something is
totally whacky.
* boostcpp.py contents are the same, but the trunk file has Unix line
endings, the master file has Windows line endings.
* Same problem with bootstrap.sh. IIRC, it is important that the .sh
files have the Unix line endings.
* c++boost.gif not present in trunk, present in master.
* index.html missing in master.
* Jamfile.v2 and Jamroot.jam not present in trunk, present in master.
* INSTALL missing in master.
* LICENSE_1_0.txt has Unix line endings in trunk, Windows line endings

Check your .gitconfig against the output of git --help config;

Relying on everyone to mutate their client settings just right doesn't
exactly scale out well, particularly not to end users.

this blog post [2].
You would essentially have entries like:
*.sh text eol=lf
I'm not quite sure how it all fits together with the config flags, but
as I understand it, it's one of the major puzzle pieces in getting a
behaviour similiar to the one enforced by our Subversion.
Some testing would probably be required to see how the final solution
turns out on different clients on the platforms.

Finding that you can't commit is really unwanted when you are fumbling with a new tool like GIT.

requires that you edit all files with a text editor that supports unix

useful ones in that list.
*.bat and *.cmd could be useful, but the value in svn props is wrong, it
should force to CRLF.

I think this must work fully automatically.
(The two groups of people who devised two different line-ending systems should all have their head
smashed together! ;-)

There is going to be more than enough to sort out with migrating to GIT without this issue.

endings these days?
(Notepad doesn't count as a text editor, and IMHO it's reasonable to
expect Boost contributors to use something other than Notepad - if you
can write C++ that works with multiple compilers on multiple platforms
then you can use a proper editor.)

You have to remember to set the line endings for every new file though.

misunderstand?
I didn't think the suggestion was that all files must have unix line
endings, just that because some require them (e.g. shell scripts with
a shebang) that line endings should be preserved. So if you're
creating a new shell script with a shebang, it should use unix line
endings, but then presumably you'll be creating such scripts on a
unix-like OS anyway and this isn't a problem.

line endings on copy&paste, leaving you with files with mixed line endings.

All source files should follow the same line endings convention, that

much is a given.
The convention that people usually choose (and the one that Boost uses
as well) is to store all source files in the Git repository with unix
line endings.
Only special file types that require windows line endings should have them.

But you will see all of this when you review your diff.

Unfortunately, many developers don't seem to even review their own sets
of changes before committing them.

I recall that .cpp/.hpp files with Windows file endings don't work on Unix

when, for example, some lines end with a backslash - only the CR is escaped.

These should be eol-style=CRLF as well. VS will just turn them into
CRLFs the next time you manipulate them in the IDE anyway, so they
should always be CRLF to avoid EOl churn.
You also forgot:
*.vcxproj = svn:eol-style=CRLF;svn:mime-type=text/xml
*.vcxproj.filters = svn:eol-style=CRLF;svn:mime-type=text/xml
(Some people don't put the filters under version control; some do.)

There have been some vague non-specific comments on this thread like
"one very popular code editor".
Instead of being vague, I'll be specific.
If you're a Visual Studio user, the "stripem" add-on allows you to
enforce a particular line ending for file names matching a regular
expression. Where I work, we require LF line endings for source
files and I have used this add-on to enforce that requirement. It
works great and handles new files and existing files alike. *poof*
No need to remember to do a manual step anymore.
