If you use cygwin or cygwin-aware tools to do everything, then you can and should just use binary mounts. Relying on tools to "do the right thing" with the CRLF line endings is asking for trouble. >It would be nice in the future if the cygwin CVS could be configured >(perhaps via an environment variable) for this behavior.
