SourceTree pending files on initial clone

Neil Wheeler

I'm using sourcetree with a mercurial repo. After an initial clone from bitbucket its telling me I have many pending files, although I haven't touched the clone. In the diff the files look exactly the same, although it thinks every line is different. I've tried "discarding" the change but this makes no difference.

This is usually because of line ending issues. Please see my answer here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/185169/sourcetree-win-1-0-3-0-what-happened-to-my-line-endings

To summarise, it's because SourceTree was trying to be helpful with its initial setup to default to unifying line endings - however existing repos may be in a state where this shows up as files needing re-committing to get their line endings into a unified LF format inside the repo (but still CRLF in your working copy).

We've stopped setting this by default for the next update and if you don't want to re-commit these files to change the line endings inside the repo then just remove these lines from mercurial.ini in your home directory:

Thanks that did the trick.

I think I have the same issue as Neil except I just did a clone from my remote repository and we are not using mercurial. The original repo was TFS. Is there a similar approach to resolve this for TFS to Git? The files in question are *.sql files that have specific CRLF at the top and bottom of files.
