The workaround I've seen is to build emacs in gnuwin32, although I expect
this can't be done without some pain too. Not having (or using) emacs, I
can't be sure but I'd venture a guess that emacs is assuming that the
command shell it uses on Windows wants "text mode" input and is handing
that to bash, which wants binary. Given the plethora of options,
configuration settings, and keystrokes in emacs that do everything from
formatting your text to cooking your dinner (well, almost), it seems to me
that there would be some combination of all of those that would fairly
easily allow you to filter out (or keep them from being added in the first
place!) those pesky \r's. However, if this hypothesis is true, someone
more knowledgeable (or more interested in poking around in emacs) will
have to answer with specifics of how to do this. I'd suggest consulting
the emacs mailing list too...
