Hi Junio,
These patches, from my cygwin-tests branch, fix test failures on cygwin. I have sent the first two patches to the list before (patches #8-9/14 of the "misc test-suite patches" series on 14-12-2010), but they didn't even make it to the pu branch! [You requested help in reviewing them.]
The final patch corresponds to the RFC patch sent late last week (9-6-2011) which has an updated commit message, but is otherwise unchanged.
[PATCH 1/3] help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin
[PATCH 2/3] t1301-*.sh: Fix the 'forced modes' test on cygwin
[PATCH 3/3] config.c: Make git_config() work correctly when called recursivelyAh, ... I just noticed that the original RFC patch is already in pu, merged from rj/config-cygwin. Hmm, do you want to split that off from this series again?
ATB, Ramsay Jones
