What does a full pathname, fed as a parameter when invoking Windows native
binaries like notepad, look like in a Cygwin environment? That is, if you
are writing a bash script that is meant to run in a Cygwin environment,
and if the script takes the name of a file in the current directory, but
it needs to chdir around for its own reasons before spawning notepad on
the file, i.e.
#!/bin/bash
file="$(pwd)/$1"
...
cd ..some..where..else..you..have..no..control..over
notepad "$file"
what is the right incantation to replace `pwd` in 'file="$(pwd)/$1"'
above?
Whatever that is, using that instead of `pwd` in git-sh-setup.sh here:
test -n "$GIT_DIR" && GIT_DIR=$(cd "$GIT_DIR" && pwd) || {
would be the solution.
