Hmm, I hadn't thought of it like that, but I suppose what I mean is that "cygwin git uses CRLF as the system's default eol". So to doubly-confirm: I'm using Cygwin-1.5's git and text files appear after a fresh clone with CR characters. Same behaviour with Cygwin-1.7's git-1.6.4.2. But I'm not sure what the implications are of changing this though. I just know that we couldn't get bash scripts to work properly until we made this igncr setting for everyone. I seem to recall it wasn't consistently broken either, but it certainly threw a spanner in the works until I discovered that igncr setting. For the record, core.autocrlf=3Dtrue on Cygwin is an absolute PITA ;) Hmm, actually, maybe you can help me work out why a file with trailing whitespace on the end of one or more lines causes cygwin's git to flag the file as locally modified when the file hasn't been touched at all. A 'git diff' shows the entire file as being different, due to the line endings switching over. Most annoying. I can write more if you're interested and want to hear about it :) -- David. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
