Blame in SourceTree for Windows

Question

Hi!

I have a problem with SourceTree for Windows:

When I use the command "Blame selected", all lines are in the state "Not committed yet" and no changes are shown.

I found out that the standard blame command blames the file in the working copy and as the setting "autocrlf" is "true", all lines are considered to be changed there.

Is there a possibility to change the behaviour of the git blame function to blame the currently selected branch?

I've created a feature request for this: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-470

If your file is showing as completely modified, and you already have autocrlf=true, then it means it was committed from a machine with an incorrect setting. You will want to normalise the line endings and re-commit it to stop it permanently showing as modified in future.
