IIRC there was a problem when a file was detected to be text, but

Ciao,
Dscho
The problem occurs with constructs like
echo "some text stuff" > file
echo "some binary stuff" >> file
The second write, being an append, ends up executed in a forked process
where file was opened by the parent, and unfortunately auto-detected as
a text file, such that the write from the child process ends up mangling
any crlf in the stream. This occurs regardless of the defined mount type
and other cygwin flags. It is definitely a bug, but is attributed to
looseness in POSIX with noone claiming ownership to fix.
However, the above bug is not triggered in the construct mentioned by Junio.
