But you _MUST NOT_ use Cygwin's textmode.
Yes, of course! Who would use Cygwin's textmode :) ?
People who I'm working with. Cygwin's converts CVS working
copies to Windows line endings if you use textmode. And this
is what they want.
And as long as textmode is an option in Cygwin's installer
user will select this option. And after it was removed from
the installer it will still be there for a couple of years,
until all existing installations finally disappear.
Because of this situation, I started to work on msysgit.
I need git without Cygwin.
And btw, no one told me that git is only working in Cygwin if
Cygwin is configured the right way. So I started to advertise
git on Cygwin and people came back to me and told me:
"What crappy tool are you suggesting to use. It's not
even capable of cloning it's own development repository.
I'll not use that tool. Don't steal my time."
