scp and cygwin randomly and automatically converts text files from utf-8 to windows encoding (cp1251)

[rPman <rPman at mail dot ru>]

It happens when files are copied from cygwin windows machines to any linux
(tried different versions of ubuntu and gentoo with utf-8 locale).
As it is not possible to understand in what cases are re-encoding, sometimes
enough to add one blank line in a text file that, when the transfer encoding
has not happened. Just changing the format of a newline (in the source files
are unix-style \n, but on the linux machine has come to win-style \r\n)

Sorry for my english - google translate.
