The setup.c in mingw.git (and soon Junio's master) and Junio's next are
_different_, but both are correct. If you reverse-apply the patch you
presented here, then you get the version from Junio's next, which is a good
state.
[ Of course, the result will work only as long as you do not set
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, because we haven't taken care of the helper
functions that this feature uses, longest_ancestor_length() and
normalize_path(). ]
We have debated about set_git_dir(".") in the past. mingw.git doesn't have it,
and it works (for me). I don't know what it is needed for.
