Yes, that is what I was thinking -- inconsistent newlines due to bugs
in the eol handling or mixed newlines being commited before the
eol-style was set or something. But after playing with it more, I
don't think that is happending.
If a file is added with no eol-style and then sometime later has an
eol-style set to 'native', then it may show different blame output on
different platforms. The original file had the newlines of it's
original platform and so blame works 'normally' -- but on a different
platform the revision *after* the eol-style change will get credit for
all the lines.
For example, on Win32 a blame of build.conf shows the first 3 lines
credited to '4387 striker' but on Linux they are '1 svn'. The
eol-style was changed to 'native' in r4371 which was the only change
to build.conf until r4387.
But if I add a file on Linux with no eol-style, make a few changes,
then later set the eol-style to 'CRLF', the diff will show every line
changed in that commit (as well as the eol-style change) and so blame
credits that revision with every line.
Kind of odd, but reasonable, I guess, given how eol-style handling
works. And with the new 'ignore eol' option it could be easily worked
around if needed.
