Even if majority of git target audience were on Windows, I thought majority of Windows users are on either VFAT or NTFS and not DOS 8.3 filesystems these days. > Also, how many mail clients know that .patch is actually > a text and not application/binary?

Is it common for popular MUAs to have a single command that lets you specify a file and depending on its suffix paste it inline or make it an attachment? I had an impression that most have separate commands for "read text from file (as opposed to typing)" and "attach a file (of random type, not necessarily and more often than not text)". The output of format-patch is not meant to be used as an attachment (it is "read text from file" kind), so I do not think your worry applies here. Maybe something I am missing? - 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
