1. Visit remote file on an OSX system using /scp:hostname:/path/to/file 2. Modify buffer 3. Save 4. Note buffer-file-coding-system has updated to utf-8-mac (and (Mac) now listed in modeline). 5. Modify and Save again and the file line endings will be converted to carriage returns. I used git bisect to find commit 47fe7a5983a97c3e806e90340f3cd6ab3f0c49b2 introduced this behavior. Prior to 47fe7a59 emacs would not modify the line endings of the file. I believe utf-8-mac is only for Mac Classic files.
