Hi Johannes,

Sorry for not commenting sooner, I've been away from email for
a few days. Also, I have only just looked at what is currently
in pu (@1a05310), which I'm pretty sure is v3 of this series.

I was somewhat disappointed that you ignored the implementation of
gitbasename() and gitdirname() that was included in the test-libgen.c
file that I sent you. I had hoped they would be (at worst) a good starting
point if you found them to be lacking for your use case (ie. for the
64-bit versions of MSVC/MinGW).

Did you have any test cases that failed? (If so, could you please add
them to the tests).

Hmm, I just had another look at them and recalled one of my TODO items.
Ahem, yes, ... err, replace code which provoked undefined behaviour. :-P

Actually, that took just ten minutes to fix. (patch below)

Yes, this fixes one of my comments about v3.
