Actually there is one outstanding issue with this "Hudson slaves over
SSH" issue - due to the inability for Cygwin's bash to run scripts
with DOS line endings, we've had to use SHELLOPTS=igncr in our
Cygwin.bat files, since it cannot be modified once bash is running.
But for a bash shell running over ssh, this option is not set, so
coupled with git's strange autocrlf behaviour in Cygwin (which I have
reported before) this leads to bash scripts that are freshly cloned
from git being un-runnable from an ssh session.
So my question is - how do I get the bash shell that runs when I ssh
to a Cygwin host to have the SHELLOPTS=igncr option set? Somehow I
need to get the sshd service to spawn the new bash instance with this
option set.
I did a search and found an old cygwin mailing list thread
from 2007 that resulted in "use the new version of Cygwin", which I
believe I have covered as I'm using Cygwin 1.7.5.
