AW: Re: Standardize on ASCII type: dos2unix pre-commit hook?

Hi,

voting for the bug might make you feel better but will not change the priority of the bug. The developers have stated multiple times that they pay no attention to the number of votes for a bug (the reasons are all on the list, so I won't reiterate all of them).
 
However, if you wish this feature to be implemented, there are a couple of things you can do:

 - write the patch (just as you mentioned).
 - if you lack the time or the skills (like me), you can still write a formal design proposal of how this feature should exactly work, so that it may be discussed on the dev list - it seems to me that this has not happended yet. Features/enhancements that have a design proposal that is generally accepted seem to get implemented faster.
 - pay someone to do it for you, perhaps in cooperation with some of the other people that would like to see this feature implemented.

regards

felix
