I'm one of these guys who uses cygwin mainly for writing Win32 applications. Using UNIX \r line-endings is rather unnatural for this purpose. > To achieve my goal, I need to use text-mode mounts. > Thus for my purposes, if bash stops working on text-mode mounts, > then this is a big step backwards... Actually, Sergey's work is a big step *forwards*, but I would appreciate support for both kinds of line-endings very much.
