  • ignore top-level .vs folder, which is generated when using the CMake build system from within Visual Studio
  • force Visual Studio solutions to CRLF line endings as Visual Studio doesn't like the LF currently used in the release archives

This folder is generated when using the CMake build system from within
Visual Studio.
Visual Studio doesn't like LF line endings in solution files and always
converts them to CRLF when doing changes to the solution. Notably, this
affects the solutions in the release archive.

test 1008...[HTTP proxy CONNECT auth NTLM with chunked-encoded 407 response]

No output has been received in the last 10m0s, this potentially indicates a stalled build or something wrong with the build itself.

Visual Studio can handle LF and CRLF. What version are you seeing problems with and can you show the error

Yes, Visual Studio can read both CRLF and LF. But it always converts the line endings to CRLF when changing anything and then saving the solution. This is only a minor issue, it makes working with some diff tools inconvenient, for example, when looking for what's changed between the solution from the release archive and the modified one. I've seen that in all versions since at least 2010.

Chalk it up to gremlins for now, if we see it repeated then one of us can investigate. Here's another weird one.

Ok, I have no objection
