I see it appearing in results for "patch newlines" but not for "patch newline" (I use marc.theaimsgroup.com). > Patch can read in either binmode or textmode (depending on the mount and > presense of --binary) but it always writes its output in binmode, which > is what causes your CRs to go away. So, my only option is having a hacked version of patch that writes with CR? BTW, I've tried also diffing and patching CR/LF terminated trees in Unix mode. Patch failed to apply diff output (it was LF-terminated, IIRC) to a CR/LF-terminated tree. Any idea why? > Corinna might be able to clarify why this must be so. I would greatly appreciate if she does.
