Nope, since those are generally about cygwin1.dll, and not bash.

The FAQ is Frequently Asked Questions--isn't something like "Why is bash complaining about \r?" (or at least "What was that way of getting bash to accept \r so you don't have to change DOS-line-ending script file?") a frequently asked question?

(I did find some e-mail about it from several years ago, but haven't
yet found anything that clearly applies to the current version of Cygwin
bash.))

Yep - that email (most recently here[1]), along with /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash.README, are the definitive sources of all documentation to cygwin-specific patches to bash (of which igncr is one). [1] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2010-08/msg00015.html

Thanks.
