Hi Junio, Adam,
Just a quick note about the failure of the test-suite on cygwin.
In particular, test t5580-clone-push-unc.sh #3, like so:
$ ./t5580-clone-push-unc.sh -i -v
...
ok 2 - clone
expecting success:
(
cd clone &&
git checkout -b to-push &&
test_commit to-push &&
git push origin HEAD
) &&
rev="$(git -C clone rev-parse --verify refs/heads/to-push)" &&
test "$rev" = "$(git rev-parse --verify refs/heads/to-push)"
Switched to a new branch 'to-push'
[to-push 0adccbe] to-push

My first, knee-jerk, reaction on seeing the backslashes in the 'local' part
of the pathname (despite what it says in commit f21d60b429) was to replace
the 'cygpath -aw .' with 'cygpath -am .'. This leads to exactly the same
error display as above, except '\\' replaced by '/' in the pathname! Hmm.
Note:
$ ls '//localhost/C$/\cygwin64\home\ramsay\git\t\trash
directory.t5580-clone-push-unc'
clone/ initial.t
$ ls '//localhost/C$//cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash
directory.t5580-clone-push-unc'
clone/ initial.t
$ ls //localhost/C$/\\cygwin64\\home\\ramsay\\git\\t\\trash\
directory.t5580-clone-push-unc
clone/ initial.t
$
So, after some debugging (using the 'cygpath -am .' version), it seems that
the error message is caused by the mkdtemp() call in tmp_objdir_create()
function (tmp-objdir.c:123), failing with an errno of 'permission denied'.
At the time of the call to mkdtemp, the current working directory is given by
'//localhost/C$/cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash
directory.t5580-clone-push-unc/.git',
and the parameter to mkdtemp is (for example) "./objects/incoming-MgZCkI".
$ cd trash\ directory.t5580-clone-push-unc/
$ ls
clone/ initial.t
$ ls .git
branches/ config HEAD index logs/ refs/
COMMIT_EDITMSG description hooks-disabled/ info/ objects/
$ ls .git/objects
24/ 93/ e7/ info/ pack/
$ mkdir '//localhost/C$//cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash
directory.t5580-clone-push-unc/.git/./objects/incoming-MgZCkI'
mkdir: cannot create directory
‘//localhost/C$//cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash

So, when 'doing it by hand', I get the same result. ;-)
Looking at the permissions:
$ ls -ld '//localhost/C$//cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash
directory.t5580-clone-push-unc/.git/./objects'
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 ramsay None 0 Dec 30 13:51

$ ls -ld '//localhost/C$//cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash

drwxr-xr-x+ 1 ramsay None 0 Dec 30 13:51

$ ls -ld '//localhost/C$//cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash

'//localhost/C$//cygwin64/home/ramsay/git/t/trash

... and so on, until:
$ ls -ld '//localhost/C$'
d---r-x---+ 1 TrustedInstaller TrustedInstaller 0 Oct 28 16:16
'//localhost/C$'/
$
Doing a quick web-search on '//localhost/C$' lead me to several posts which
seem to suggest the problem could be related to UAC filtering on remote
shares (and the fact that I am on Windows 10), along with a registry setting
for 'LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy'. However, I have not had time to look
into any of that.
Adam, are you running the tests on Windows 10?
I have to go now, so I can't look at this further today. Just FYI.
ATB,
Ramsay Jones
