This was an issue partly because was alias pwd to "pwd -W" and so always get Windows paths. It means the test here doesn't check absolute paths but I think we can live with that. I tried using $(builtin pwd) to avoid the "-W" but it didn't help and I still got C: style paths. I also grabbed Karsten's patch "dir.c: fix ignore processing within not-ignored directories" as this appears to deal with a .gitignore regression in 1.8.3. We can carry this until the next merge with upstream. -- 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
