The title taken together with the above explanation makes it sound as if wildmatch code does not work with the pattern /foo on Windows at all and to avoid the issue (instead of fixing the breakage) this patch removes such tests. But I suspect that is not what is going on. Perhaps the title of the change is more like "test-wildmatch: avoid Windows path mangling" and explain with "On Windows, any command line argument that begins with a slash is mangled as if it were a full pathname. This causes patterns beginning with a slash not to be passed to test-wildmatch correctly" or something? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
