Re: [edk2-devel] [Patch 3/3] BaseTools/PatchCheck: Disable text conversion in 'git show'

["Michael D Kinney" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Laszlo,

This sounds like a good improvement.

Do you have a recommended set of settings you would like
to see checked in to the root of each EDK II related 
repository that would be required settings for all EDK II
developers.

Do you want to enter a BZ and prepare a patch with this
new file for the edk2 repo.  Once it is approved and added
to edk2 repo, we can propagate to the other EDK II related
repos.

Thanks,

Mike
