Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] Fix interactive rebase when the editor saves with CR/LF

A simple test with CR/LF line endings in a script reveals that it is
pretty solid:

	x=a
	case "$x" in a) echo b;; esac

prints out 'b', as expected.

I do not see what this has to do with anything.

The shell language parser when parsing a script may do the right
thing, but the bug I was alluding to was that your 'read' does not
seem to be removing the terminating <newline> (which is CRLF on your
platform) after reading a line before splitting the contents on the
line at IFS boundaries.

Again. If CR has no place in IFS, why does LF have a place in IFS? It
makes *no* sense to argue for one and against the other.
