[PATCH] git-gui: Remove ancient Cygwin compatibility code

From: Adam Dinwoodie <adam@dinwoodie.org>

Message-ID: <20151201191743.GI14466@dinwoodie.org>

Remove special path handling for Cygwin in the git-gui Makefile. This used to be necessary, but has been being patched out of the official Cygwin distribution builds since Git v1.7.9, and should really be patched out of the upstream code rather than being patched every time in the Cygwin build process.

I'm the current Cygwin maintainer for Git; this code has been patched
out of the Cygwin Git builds since v1.7.9,* well before I took over.
It's clearly stable and causing no problems, so having it in the
upstream code rather than patching every time seems The Right Thing To
Do.

(* The actual patch used in the Cygwin builds just replaces `ifeq ($(uname_O,Cygwin))` with `ifeq ($(uname_O,noThanks))`, but that's clearly the appropriate solution for a quick manual patch, not for the actual upstream code.)

Sending with apologies to Shawn Pearce for the noise; I'd misread the SubmittingPatches doc and sent to him alone first.

I've based this patch off the git-gui tree rather than the main Git tree per the SubmittingPatches doc. Pipe it through `sed 's!Makekfile!git-gui/\0!g'` for a version that applies cleanly to the main Git source tree.
