Hi Johannes,
$ cd /c/uk-org-netvu/
Ricky@RICKY-XP /c/uk-org-netvu (trunk) $ cmd Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
c:\uk-org-netvu>
If I run cmd via Start -> Run, then the prompt shows C:\uk-org-netvu>
I also verified this using the Scala interpreter, printing out System.getProperty("user.dir"), which varied similarly in case depending on whether I started it from cmd or from Git Bash.
Thanks, Ricky.
