Hi,
I uploaded the installer Git-preview20080301.exe, which includes a
recent master of official Git, includes git svn, and has
core.autocrlf=true as its default.
I downloaded and installed this version of git, used it to clone
git://repo.or.cz/msysgit.git, rebuilt the installer, and wondered why
"git commit" was failing with errors about vi.
After some digging, it turns out that "vi" in msysgit.git is a shell
script, and git was trying to launch "sh\r" instead of "sh", since the
vi script was autocrlf'd.
You should force the msysgit repository to core.autocrlf = false (or
maybe core.autocrlf = input). Even though msysgit runs on Windows it
is not a real cross-platform project. MinGW emulates a Unix
environment and thus you should override core.autocrlf.
This patch fixes the problem.
I don't think this fix is needed.
