Thank you for your help. I found the problem. In my ~/.gitconfig, SOMEONE set [core] autocrlf = true I say SOMEONE because I would NEVER do that. In the last few weeks I've been trying out some Windows git clients. I'm not even sure which ones, but I installed and uninstalled several. One of them apparently took the liberty of making this change for me. Grrr. I nuked the offending line and the problem is fixed. Sorry to have bothered you. Andrew
