So it seems we should all enable the core.autocrlf option and re-checkout our repos then?

 From what I read in this thread, Mercurial seems /far/ easier to use. (Why was
git chosen?)

I'll guess not. Because
core.autocrlf = true means
"Use this setting if you want to have CRLF line endings in your working
directory even though the repository does not have normalized line endings."
(see man git-config)

See here for further explanation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3206843/how-line-ending-conversions-work-with-git-core-autocrlf-between-different-operati

The part "Moving forward" on github seems rather strange to me.

I've noted that the commits I've made earlier (to the SVN repository) don't seem to get linked to my github account.  How, if possible, can I fix this?

Nevermind, I figured it out moments after sending that message. :)  Just had to add a few more e-mail addresses to my github account.

This is an ambitious attempt!

My github ID is "shoo".
I made it just now.

I develop some programs on Windows. And I have used msysGit.
In addition my development environment is Japanese(character set is
Shift_JIS).
Here is the assumed approximately worst environment!
I hope that it is improved even if little by little...

Awesome!

git has some useful features so I like git :)
I often use rebase, cherry-pick and stash.

In addition, github is cool.
My github account is 'repeatedly'.

Thanks Jason!

In SVN you can set eol-style to native, and it converts line endings when the repos is retrieved, I believe.  Maybe we'll just have to standardize on \n?

Therefore, normalization would have to do some non-trivial history rewriting, which would then cause divergence from the repository the changes were pushed from.

Mercurial is easier to use.  On the other hand Git has been chosen, and the change implemented.  There is therefore no point in reopening the debate -- at least at this time.  For now it's just get on and use Git.

There shouldn't be any issue with using cmd or powershell. My guess is that an RSA was not generated, or you don't have your public key activated in your profile. I'm not exactly sure how this works with organizations, but this page should help:
