Actually, all git-commands seems to fail. But now I also observe that just trying to run t0000-basic fails: $ ./t0000-basic.sh ./t0000-basic.sh: line 24: ../git: is a directory You do not seem to have built git yet. Now this is suspicious: $ ls ../git.exe ../git.exe* $ ls ../git Debug/ git.vcproj git.vcproj.Hue-PC.kusma.user git.wwdb Aha! The MSVC project generator creates a folder called 'git' at the root, so anything trying to execute '../git' fails! $ ../git help sh.exe": ../git: is a directory After deleting that folder, t0000-basic passes again. As does your test. So now I've got to figure out what is different between your test and mine. Perhaps I misdiagnosed to begin with? -- 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
