This could indeed be a CRLF issue. archive-tar.c runs gzip to let it write to the original fd 1 (stdout). gzip is an MSYS program, and MSYS is "clever" and sets up the channel in text mode (CRLF conversion) if it is a regular file, but in binary mode if it is a pipe. Without the gzip filter, git-archive writes to stdout itself. Since we have set up all our channels in binary mode, we do not suffer from the same problem for plain tar format. So, I don't think we can do a lot about it, short of patching MSYS again... -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
