I'm using git on Windows via CYGWIN_NT-6.1 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) when I run git gc, I got the following output C:\bones> git gc FIND: Parameter format not correct Counting objects: 1897, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (631/631), done. Writing objects: 100% (1897/1897), done. Total 1897 (delta 1196), reused 1897 (delta 1196) Looks like git gc expects /usr/bin/find from cygwin to be executed, but it's Windows find command got executed actually. Probably find should be executed as /usr/bin/find to avoid this problem? N.B. altering the PATH by putting /usr/bin ahead is not eligible because there're many other batch program expect find to be the Windows find command.
