In fact, ISTR it chokes on shell scripts with CR line endings just as every shell on Unix does. The commits from Dscho and Stolee to our current .gitattributes file explain the situation quite well. Cygwin allows configurable behavior for line endings, but I don't know whether any configuration it allows handles CR in the shell. I'm sure Cygwin will do the right thing with LF only lines regardless, so it's probably safe to just assume LF-only behavior in the shell. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
