HI! > Does 'git var -l' work as expected? Hmm, it also gives an error message: $ git var -l usage: git-var [-l | <variable>] > Also, could you try the latest git-package provided by the cygwin > installer? If CRLF-handling was your problem, take a look at the > description of core.autocrlf with 'git help config'. I tried it with Git 1.5.3.2 from Cygwin, and the problem I'm having is not with the CRLF handling in the checked out files, but rather in the repository database itself. Cloning a repository with Cygwin-Git produced various errors about the object database being corrupt. Mingw-Git does not produce those errors. > [This does look like an issue with running mingw.git under Cygwin. > Johannes, is this even supposed to work?] I get the same error running mingw-git from a regular cmd.exe prompt, so it doesn't seem to be related to Cygwin at all. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ - 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
