> + if (!getcwd(cwd, sizeof(cwd)) || cwd[0] != '/') > + die("Unable to read current working directory"); Dscho just pointed out that this causes problems on windows. The same is also in setup_git_directory_gently and was there before I touched it, introduced by Linus in d288a700. What was the original reason to do this? Are there implementations of getcwd which return a relative path? Additionally there are other places which need to check if some user supplied path is absolute. Should we have a macro/function for that which depends on the os and checks for path[0] = '/' on unix and perhaps path[1] = ':' on windows? - 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
