Markus HeidelbergStarting the Explorer from the git-gui menu "Explore Working Copy" didn't work, when git-gui was started via Windows Explorer shell extension (Git GUI Here) from a directory within the project. The Explorer raised an error message like this:
Path "C:/somedir/worktree" is not available or not a directory
It worked when started from the project directory itself, because then the path argument for the Explorer was just '.' (current directory) without any problematic forward slashes.
To make it work, convert the path given as argument to explorer.exe to its native format with backslashes.

Now this is the real location of the problem in contrast of the workaround attempt from 2 days before. I've also tested this change with xdg-open.
