sparse checkout file with windows line endings doesn't work

Hi,

Please see  http://pastebin.com/zMXvvXuy

It shows that if the .git/info/sparsecheckout file is in windows format
(windows line ending) then it doesn't work.

Thanks for any advice.

This is git 1.8.3.msysgit.0

And it does work for me with CRLF endings (again tested on Linux). Can
you send me your sparse-checkout file? Zip it if needed. I just wanted
to make sure there's no weird visible characters there. If none is
found, then I don't know what causes your problem. Perhaps msys guys
can help.

Hi Duy,

Thanks again for taking a look at these two reports.

Yes, will do.

I will try, myself, on Linux, as well.  It seems quite conceivable its the
sort of thing that only happens under Windows.

Regards,

Martin

sparse-checkout created with

echo /CONFIGURATION > .git\info\sparse-checkout

on Windows.

Attached file created with

tar cvzf sparsecheckout.tar.gz .git/info/sparse-checkout

in gitbash shell on Windows.

Regards,

Martin
