Many tests pass $(pwd) in some form to git and later test that the output of git contains the correct value of $(pwd). For example, the test of 'git remote show' sets up a remote that contains $(pwd) and then the expected result must contain $(pwd). Again, MSYS-bash's path mangling kicks in: Plain $(pwd) uses the MSYS style absolute path /c/path/to/git. The test case would write this name into the 'expect' file. But when git is invoked, MSYS-bash converts this name to the Windows style path c:/path/to/git, and git would produce this form in the result; the test would fail. We fix this by passing -W to bash's pwd that produces the Windows-style path. There are a two cases that need an accompanying change: - In t1504 the value of $(pwd) becomes part of a path list. In this case, the lone 'c' in something like /foo:c:/path/to/git:/bar inhibits MSYS-bashes path mangling; IOW in this case we want the /c/path/to/git form to allow path mangling. We use $PWD instead of $(pwd), which always has the latter form. - In t6200, $(pwd) - the Windows style path - must be used to construct the expected result because that is the path form that git sees. (The change in the test itself is just for consistency: 'git fetch' always sees the Windows-style path, with or without the change.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
