Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_NATIVE_WINDOWS
Message-ID: <517C29BE.6050002@ramsay1.demon.co.uk>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/517C29BE.6050002%40ramsay1.demon.co.uk

```
From: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>

Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is
defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin.
On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix
machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive.

Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers.
Best to rely on a new git-specific symbol GIT_NATIVE_WINDOWS instead,
defined as follows:

	#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
	# define GIT_NATIVE_WINDOWS
	#endif

After this change, it should be possible to drop the
CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting without any negative effect.

Yay!  Thanks for finishing it.

Wait.  The proposed commit log message talks about native-windows
but throughout the code it is windows-native [I'll reword when I
rebase-i to add your reviewed-by].

While I really like seeing an unfinished topic completed by tying
its loose ends like this patch does, it feels a bit too late for the
cycle, especially given that we _know_ the changes still need to be
tested on a platform that the series is expected to affect.

Could somebody who builds regularly on Cygwin 1.7 try to see if
these two patches are OK?

Reports from people without previous experience with Git on Cygwin
who freshly install Cygwin 1.7 only to test these two patches do not
count, because they do not know what is expected and cannot tell
regressions from know limitations.

Thanks.

Yes, I suspect it is low risk, but there is no need to include it
in this cycle.
