After some investigation, it looks like the problem is to do with the index.lock file. I think it may have something to do with with the rename function in index.c.

As far as i can tell index.lock should not exist after any git call. An atexit() call is registered remove it when it is created, so this should ensure it gets removed. Unfortunately that is not what happens in this case.

A quick check with an unlink() before the rename in index.c, worked for the first failure in t0000-basic, but not the next one.

The only relevant reference I could find in the list archives is: http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0510/10188.html

The attached patch has two fixes. The first is a check to see if cygwin is installed, and if so, to ensure that the script uses cygwin Unix style find, rather than the win2k find.

The second adds a test_warning_ function to the test library. Not sure how useful th may be to everyone else, but it works for me. This checks to see if the index.lock still exists, and adds a simple 'warning' category to the tests.

Tim.
