HI!

Hmm, it also gives an error message:

$ git var -l usage: git-var [-l | <variable>]

I tried it with Git 1.5.3.2 from Cygwin, and the problem I'm having is not with the CRLF handling in the checked out files, but rather in the repository database itself. Cloning a repository with Cygwin-Git produced various errors about the object database being corrupt. Mingw-Git does not produce those errors.

I get the same error running mingw-git from a regular cmd.exe prompt, so it doesn't seem to be related to Cygwin at all.
