From 30f9b73480af011f446ab971a1a1abed760f76f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Voigt Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:17:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Windows: Always normalize paths to Windows-style It appears that `pwd` returns the POSIX-style or the DOS-style path depending which style the previous `cd` used. To normalize, enforce `pwd -W` in scripts.

Johannes said that he runs the tests outside of the msysgit folder. That way there is only one path the submodule script gets reported and not two like '/c/msysgit/git' and '/git'. That would explain to me why it is passing. I am afraid that the only solution is to patch msys itself to report the long absolute path when passing window style paths to cd. Currently when I do cd c:/msysgit/git I will end up in '/git' instead of the long path. I found that there is a -W option to pwd in msys bash which makes it always return the real windows path. A normalization in that direction is unique and thus might be more robust. Have a look at the attached patch. With this at least t5526 passes. I was not able to run the whole testsuite properly at the moment. I can have a look at that tomorrow. What do you think?
