Hi Junio,

The test-suite on cygwin has a number of failures. These patches fix up most of the problems. I know v1.7.8-rc3 is out already, but it takes 2 hours 15 minutes to run the tests on cygwin (and that's without the svn tests!) so I didn't want to rebase and re-test the patches tonight ... ;-)

    [PATCH 1/3] t5501-*.sh: Fix url passed to clone in setup test
    [PATCH 2/3] config.c: Fix a static buffer overwrite bug by avoiding mkpath()
    [PATCH 3/3] git-submodule.sh: Don't use $path variable in eval_gettext string

Note that patch #3 is an RFC; see patch for more.

[with these patches applied, I have GIT_SKIP_TEST='t0061.3 t0070.3']

ATB, Ramsay Jones
