line-endings

I've set up Tramp on Emacs on my Windows 7 box (64 bit). For this test, this is the only thing in my emacs-config:

(setq tramp-default-method "plink")

Then I connect to my Ubuntu Server 9.10 running in a VM on my local network.

Connection goes fine, i can use dired to browse folders and open files. Yay!

However, git status shows up as:

Git:master^M

An when i open speedbar all folders and files ends with ^M, ie:

<+> conf/^M

Does anyone know how to prevent this line-ending collision from occurring?

emacs tramp performance

Can't use the su method, since I don't really want to veer from the Ubunut default too much. ssh is right out (for localhost? I ask you!). It shows a "Waiting fro prompts from remote shell". And that's it, apparently. Or is it just that incredibly slow? >>> More
