[PATCH 1/2] t9700/test.pl: fix path type expectation on cygwin

Ramsay Jones· Jan 16, 2026, 20:39 UTC · lore

Commit 4ec7ac101b ("t9700: accommodate for Windows paths", 2025-12-17) changed the type of the absolute path to the git directory from unix to win32 for both GfW and cygwin. This fixed the test for GfW but causes new failures on cygwin, since the test expectation is that it uses unix paths on cygwin. In order to not break cygwin, disable the new code by removing the "or $^O eq 'cygwin'" sub-expression from the conditional part of the fix.
