Thanks for your reply, I hadn't known that msys did translation of parameters
with /.
Doubling these up does make the commands work, but doesn’t explain why they
used to work and now don't :(

Ämne: Cannot run cmd command lines from GIT bash
HI,
I have just installed GIT from Git-1.9.4-preview20140815.exe having
previously been using Git-1.9.2-preview20140411.exe I now
find that some scripts I have been using for some time are no longer working
correctly.
It seems that now I cannot pass parameters through to a DOS command e.g.
net user username /DOMAIN
used to return full information about the user, now it just returns username
not found, which is the behaviour
if it is invoked without the /DOMAIN switch. I have seen similar with other
commands, an even simpler example would be
cmd /c dir
This should run the DOS dir command, but all it does is invoke cmd.exe
interactively
msys translates anything that looks like a unix path. try doubling all initial
slashes, i.e. cmd //c dir
You might have better luck with Windows specifie questions in one of the
msysgit forums than here.
