Hey,
> I think that tackling this with a script/function is a better approach ...
That's seems like a bandaid solution from which the general user base
would not be able to profit. I think a floating patch to Cygwin's git
package would be more appropriate, unless it can be addressed in
Cygwin's system calls (which I'm sure has been attempted).
Why can I
cat c:\\file.txt
but can't
git add c:\\file.txt
? Where is this path normalization magic happening?
Regards,
Roman
