From: Jens Lehmann Date: Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:16:19 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] submodules: fix ambiguous absolute paths under Windows Message-ID: <4F53DBA3.4010500@web.de> In-Reply-To: <4F53DA95.2020402@web.de> From: Johannes Sixt Under Windows the "git rev-parse --git-dir" and "pwd" commands may return either drive-letter-colon or POSIX style paths. This makes module_clone() behave badly because it expects absolute paths to always start with a '/'. Fix that by always converting the "c:/" notation into "/c/" when computing the relative paths from gitdir to the submodule work tree and back.
