Relying on tools to "do the right >thing" with the CRLF line endings is asking for trouble. Maybe that's part of the problem. I use a non cygwin tool to edit my source code. I guess my 'ftp' would also be non-cygwin. As far as "do the right thing" being trouble, that is the set up I previously had and I never had any trouble at all. On that basis, I'll go back to my "old" cvs.exe, while still using cygwin for all its other UNIX command line tools. > >It would be nice in the future if the cygwin CVS could be configured > >(perhaps via an environment variable) for this behavior. > >As you have previously noted, it is best to send these kind of >observations the cygwin mailing list.
