Save the stderr from the dry MSVC make to a well named file for later review. Use 'msvc-build-makedryerrors.txt' which should be obvious as to its source, and is not ignored by 'git status'. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley <philipoakley@xxxxxxx> --- fixed false mode change:- Junio's report (last line of) http://marc.info/?l=git&m=143524504500824 (2015-06-25), The cause was probably an early 'commit --amend' during a rebase, and using the git gui to unstage the whole commit, then pick up and commit hunks one at a time. Unfortunately, on Msysgit/g4w core.filemode is false, so the execute bit was lost during the unstage, never noticed, and there's no simple way of adding it back.
