Subject: Re: CygWin adding CRs, hurting CVS client/server communications?
I've just tried scp'ing a text file containing CRNL line terminators...the
copy of the file on the server is unchanged, i.e., it still has CRNLs. So
I guess this means the problem isn't with SSH. It's just weird that it
popped up immediately after a CygWin update...could there be something
else in CygWin doing this? Hmmm...

Works like a charm here, both for binmode and textmode mounts.

The problem mentioned in your mailing list reference was fixed long time ago.
Do your line endings change as well if you scp a textfile from your
client to your server? If yes, then we have indeed an ssh issue on WinXP
platforms. Otherwise your problem must lie somewhere else.

Hey folx...currently using OpenSSH under CygWin on an XP box to
communicate with a CVS server on a Linux box. Recently upgraded my
CygWin installation (1.3.22(0.78/3/2), including OpenSSH to v3.6.1p1
(the latest available under CygWin), and now CVS client/server
communications over SSH (CVS_RSH=ssh) don't work.
I've tracked the problem deep enough to suspect that SOMETHING in CygWin
converts LF to CR+LF line terminators across SSH. This pretty much hoses
CVS client/server communications, as the CVS server interprets all
incoming lines as byte strings including a CR at the end (it treats LF
as the actual terminator)...especially bad for pathname interpretation,
but lots of other things may be affected as well. I've tried altering
the CVS server code to eat the extra CRs, but too many other things
break (including file data exchange I'd bet...can't tell which CRs are
valid data and which are inserted by the system) for that to be effective.
Found a reference in the mailing list archives to a similar problem
someone was having last October, but the solution was to install a
snapshot from that time period which seems to be no longer available.
I'm wondering if the fix for this issue never found its way into more
recent versions of the CygWin system components? I've upgraded CVS on
both client and server, but based on my testing, I don't think CVS
itself is adding the CRs...please flame if I'm wrong on that one. <g>
Not sure what else to do right now but do without version control for a
bit...any better ideas?
