Hi Graham,

I am running git inside a Cygwin shell.  I didn't notice any issues wth line-endings.

So are you using Cygwin git or Windows git? 

I cannot run git-review even to print the version.  I did manually delete the entries for git-review in the scripts and lib folders and reinstalled, but still see the following error:

$ git-review --version

Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't understand egg files.  At git_review\gmd.py:180 it is doing:

    provider = pkg_resources.get_provider(requirement)

The .egg file does exist, I don't know what goes wrong inside it.

Could the issue be running Windows Python and Windows git-review in the Cygwin shell (possibly with Cygwin git)?

I use Windows git for all my git\Gerrit work along with Windows Python in a PowerShell, er, shell.

Can you try running `C:\Python27\Scripts\git-review --version` in a Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell?

An egg is a Python application distribution unit, similar to a java .jar file.  See http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs
