When I run "git commit" to check in changes to my "/cygdrive/c/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts" file, I receive the following error messages like the following (Note: I've changed the host name and IP addresses to protect its identity):
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/drivers/etc $ git commit * * You have some suspicious patch lines: * * In hosts * trailing whitespace (line 20) hosts:20:10.10.10.10 host1.example.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/drivers/etc $" I found one suggested fix at "http://www.dont-panic.cc/capi/2007/07/13/git-on-windows-you-have-some-s uspicious-patch-lines/": "To solve the problem, you need to edit .git/hooks/pre-commit and comment out the following lines: if (/\s$/) { bad_line("trailing whitespace", $_); }" Is this the best solution? -- Matt Seitz Manager, File System Virtualization Cisco Systems, Inc. .:|:.:|:.
