I think one last issue that isn't mentioned on the wiki page is about the 
core.autocrlf property of git. A few days ago I cloned the git repo on a 
computer (running Ubuntu 12.04) where I haven't done any gnucash development 
before, and immediately I ran into the crlf issues with the files that have a 
CRLF line ending (inside packaging/win32 etc.). Maybe it is necessary to set 
up the core.autocrlf property globally *before* checking out the cloned 
gnucash repo. It took me several attempts, including deleting the 
.gitattribute file from the index, until I got reported an unchanged working 
copy. Sorry for not providing the exact instructions here, but for a new 
computer, this issue seems to be still open.
