From: Robert Abel Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2017 23:49:23 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] git-prompt: fix reading files with windows line endings Message-ID: <20171204234923.9600-2-rabel@robertabel.eu> In-Reply-To: <20171204234923.9600-1-rabel@robertabel.eu> If any of the files read by __git_eread have \r\n line endings, read will only strip \n, leaving \r. This results in an ugly prompt, where instead of user@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master) the last parenthesis is printed over the beginning of the prompt like )ser@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master This patch fixes the issue by setting the IFS to $'\r\n' for the read operation. Note that ANSI-C Quoting ($'...') is supported by bash as well as zsh, which are the current targets of git-prompt.sh, cf. <20171130010811.17369-1-szeder.dev@gmail.com>.
