Re: [mingw port] git plumbing piping with CR/NL

Hi,

I haven't had time looking at the code yet. I report here so that I
can free my memory for other things. I made a command like this:

$ git ls-tree -r HEAD|grep blah.cc|git update-index --index-info

and the output of git-status was:

$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#	new file:   path/to/blah.cc\r
#
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#	deleted:    path/to/blah.cc\r
...
$ git version
git version 1.5.2.651.g80e39-dirty (if the commit isn't in the master
branch, it is based on master branch)

Apparently git should ignore \r at the end of the path. ...

Why should it? \r is a valid character in filenames almost everywhere
(except for the some proprietary OSes, as usual).

Why does your grep _alters_ the input, instead of filtering it, btw?
