gitolite setup fails to check admin pubkey, because $text always
contains 2 or more lines after tsh_try() (the key and -n).
[committer adds:
I wasn't sure if 'printf' would work on cygwin, so I chose what
looked like a safer option, but apparently it wasn't safe enough and
fell afoul of Solaris.
Anyway I managed to check (using a small test program) with someone
who runs gitolite on cygwin, and it works.
If you're wondering why I didn't just use echo followed by chomp(),
that would of course have been the easy way out but I wanted to see
how you'd do it without a post-processing option. It became a
frustrating challenge of sorts because it seems such a trivial thing!

The fix is easy enough, but I hate having to code work-arounds for
proprietary OSs when the same code works fine on Linux and BSD.
/me wisely avoids words like posix in his rant ;-)
Thanks to Franck Zoccolo for help in finding what the problem was and
when and why it occurred.

Someday there will be some issue that requires a fix with significant
code change (or worse, a change that is incompatible with Linux), and I
will probably refuse. Of course, I will be properly regretful about my
inability to fix it.[1]
