Dear Alexander Holler,
In message 1336720486-7424-1-git-send-email-holler@ahsoftware.de you wrote:
This is used for compatibility with text files which are using CRLF instead of LF as the end of a line.
I don't think we should do this. If you have text files with CR-LF line endings, then please use external tools (like dos2unix) to filter these and bring them into the appropriate format.
I would like to put as little restrictions on the content of an environment variable as possible. I can see valid use for strings that contain a CR character.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
