Anyway, I think it would be better to address the problem on the msysgit side. Perhaps by providing a gzip of a different vintage (e.g. a self-compiled one) that does not suffer from the CRLF conversion issue. -- 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
