Hello folks,
I have been playing with fast-import in cygwin and I have problems
importing files with CR/LF line-endings. The size in data command is
calculated including the CRs and than the file is copied binary to the
fast-import input stream. However fast-import skips the CRs when reading,
overreads by that number of bytes and fails when it tries to read the next
command from the middle.
Attached is a test input stream and crash report generated by fast-import
when reading it. In case mail system damages it along the way despite
being attached to prevent that, the file should be in unix format -- that
is what my cygwin perl outputs by default -- and has CRs only on lines 15
and 16. The unix.txt and dos.txt should only differ that the '.'s in
former are replaced by '^M's in the later (so the data commands are
otherwise same).
Note, that when I convert the file to dos format, it is read as intended.
However, that is inconsistent with rest of the cygwin environment which
generated and expects files in unix format. I use binary mounts (not
converting) and CYGWIN environment variable is empty. My git version is
1.6.0.4 from official Cygwin package.
Is this behaviour intentional workaround for something or a bug?
