Hello,
Eventually, I succeeded in building a msys-1.0.dll with a tweaked
msys_p2w(). The result is on work/p2w (9ff65cc3d) in msysgit.
The commit message contains more details:

What do you think? Should we use the modified msys-1.0.dll?
Thanks a lot!
But if I understand your patch correctly, it only caters for :/ at the
beginning and :: in the middle of a path-lookalike.
Yes. I first tried to switch of the path list conversion completely.
But this did not work because it broke PATH. Apparently msys_p2w()
is required to convert PATH from MSYS to Windows.
But I have some
repositories set up like this:
[remote "origin"]
url = R:/jsixt/something.git
and after a 'git pull' I see this in the commit message:
Merge branch master of 'R;C:\GIT\jsixt/something.git'
because 'git pull' passes the configured url to git-fmt-merge-msg,
at which
point bash mangles the path.
Maybe it's possible to remove a bit more of this dwimmery?
Absolutely. Whoever has know breakages caused by path mangling
should send them and I'll figure out how to tweak msys_p2w().
Maybe we can add some test cases?
