[Gnu-arch-users] [BUG] On win32 diff/patch need --binary flag

[John A Meinel]

On windows/cygwin patch defaults to ignoring line endings unless you 
supply the --binary flag. This causes problems for tla as it expects 
files to not be modified. (In general creating pristines always end up 
as LF, even if they were CRLF).

I have a small patch in
address@hidden/tla--win32-diff-w-binary--1.3

Right now it's an #ifdef for win32 or cygwin. It could also be done with 
a config option. cfg__patch_needs_binary_flag sort of thing.
