Is it wise (see above mount output) to have the same drive with common
forks of the tree mounted in two different mode? You have C: mounted
text and C:\bin (as well as C:\lib) mounted as binary.
Now at what point in the path /usr/bin/test would cygwin switch from
text mode to binary mode. At / (text) at /usr (still text) /usr/bin (ha
ha now binary!) finally what happens if /usr/bin/fixer is a symlink to
/usr/fixer? Is it text or binary?
Do you really want files in /bin to be CRLF ended and files in /usr/bin
to be LF terminated?
Something to think about?
