It is the environment variable *names* that get upper-cased, not the values. The variable name that was set for use by git-merge-octopus is of the form GITHEAD_deadbeef, but inside git-merge-octopus, the name is GITHEAD_DEADBEEF. Only MSYS programs like bash, but not native Windows programs like git, suffer from this. -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
