Hi all,
the latest git.git master includes some trickery in git-am so that it can be
run from a subdirectory: It appends the subdirectory to relative paths given
on the command line (which is the mailbox to be applied). It does so by
testing for an absolute path like this:
case "$arg" in
/*)
set "$@" "$arg" ;;
*)
set "$@" "$prefix$arg" ;;
esac
This test for absolute paths does not work on Windows, hence, git-am can't be
called with an absolute path to the mailbox.
I'm not going to fix this now since I'm not using git-am (not with absolute
paths anyway).
Question: Do you mind if I push a so regressed mingw.git master, or would you
like that I wait for a fix (that someone among you would have to provide)
that I apply before pushing?
The commit I'd like to push is 5c49996, which is included in
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw/j6t.git?a=shortlog;h=master
in case you like to build on top of it.
