This should make Cogito mostly work on cygwin.

This is an incremental update to make Cogito handle symbolic refs.

 I am not sure whether the change from using '[ -L .git/HEAD ]' to using
'[ -e .git/HEAD ]' is the thing to do. And I haven't used it so much
yet; did a few commit and so on. And the tests fails do to local cloning
not working yet (git-local-fetch needs to be fixed).
