That is exactly the problem. Git won't work if spurious \r appear in the files, which is what happens on a text mount when a file is created in text mode and reopened in binary mode. Mount your git repository on a binary mount instead. A patch was already proposed upstream to make git.exe always open files in binary mode, but I don't know whether it was ever accepted, and even if it was, it doesn't help for those git actions which are still independent scripts instead of built into git.exe. I suppose that next time I try a release, I could spend more time trying to support text mode, but it isn't my highest priority, because git contains so many disparate tools that would all need auditing. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
