In fact Cygwin supports both, so make Git agree with this. The failing case is when a file is committed in a sub-dir of the repository using a log message from a file specified with a DOS style path-name. To reproduce: $ cd src $ git commit -F c:\tmp\log.txt file.c fatal: could not read log file 'src/c:\tmp\log.txt': No such file \ or directory.
