Do I have to post this advice in any other list to get it to note to the correct persons? >See the other thread on this today. First, why can't you teach your >revision control system that on a cygwin binary mount, the underlying >system uses \n line endings, not \r\n? There are several other things which prevent this. The version control system itself could be told to do so. >Second, you can add this to the >beginning of your script to make bash ignore \r when the file has \r\n >endings even on a cygwin binary mount: > >IFS=' '' '' >' # Yes, that is space, tab, and either a 1 or 2-character EOL as needed I tried this IFS setting right below the SHA-BANG line, but nothing changed. (I used emacs editor to be sure to write the correct characters.) >We ask that you ATTACH this, not include it inline, to avoid spurious hits >in the mail archive search engine. I actually DID attache the particular file. >I thought you said you had to use textmode?

See: $ which sh /usr/bin/sh $ ll /usr/bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 illenseer Kein 8 Jul 20 2005 /usr/bin/sh -> bash.exe Any other ideas or comments on my actions? - Did I do anything wrong? Can I mount a particular subdirectory (and all subdirs below this) in textmode while the rest of the partition will be mounted in binmode? (If yes, how?)
