The Cygwin Users' Guide says "Using native Win32 paths in Cygwin, while possible, is generally inadvisable." http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-win32 Is this similar to the problem of line ending (POSIX lf vs. Windows cr-lf)? Windows Notepad won't correctly display files with lf line endings, either. So maybe this should be a configuration option, as with line endings? -- 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
