The strange behavior is not a problem in Git, it is a problem of MSYS. Using /foo/bar instead of /a/b in Git's test suite is a reasonable work-around. If you mean that you get ../../C:/something from the relative_path computation, that *is* a problem in Git, which is addressed by the topic jx/relative-path-regression-fix. > PS: I'm also quite unhappy about naming the function "mingw_path".

You have a point here. If it were to change, "echo_path" would be my preference. -- Hannes -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
