I agree - using git with core.autocrlf=true (a controversial setting in itself, but one that you're stuck with if you choose to use it) without SHELLOPTS=igncr results in bash scripts being checked out in DOS-style, which bash can't run properly. But it's not too hard to set this in Cygwin.bat before bash starts, once you know what the problem is. set SHELLOPTS=igncr -- David. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
