This part of your 45bf3297 (t1300: fix the new --show-origin tests on Windows) @@ -1205,6 +1205,9 @@ test_expect_success POSIXPERM,PERL 'preserves existing per "die q(badrename) if ((stat(q(.git/config)))[2] & 07777) != 0600" ' +! test_have_prereq MINGW || +HOME="$(pwd)" # convert to Windows path + test_expect_success 'set up --show-origin tests' ' INCLUDE_DIR="$HOME/include" && mkdir -p "$INCLUDE_DIR" && is actually a much more concise version of my proposed patch, although the result still misuses $HOME where it does not have to. In fact, if I revert 5ca6b7bb (config --show-origin: report paths with forward slashes), the tests still pass.
