It appears that `pwd` returns the POSIX-style or the DOS-style path
depending which style the previous `cd` used. To normalize, enforce `pwd
-W` in scripts.

Yes it probably does. Johannes said that he runs the tests outside of
the msysgit folder. That way there is only one path the submodule script
gets reported and not two like '/c/msysgit/git' and '/git'.
That would explain to me why it is passing.
I am afraid that the only solution is to patch msys itself to report the
long absolute path when passing window style paths to cd. Currently when
I do
cd c:/msysgit/git
I will end up in '/git' instead of the long path.
I found that there is a -W option to pwd in msys bash which makes it
always return the real windows path. A normalization in that direction
is unique and thus might be more robust. Have a look at the attached
patch. With this at least t5526 passes. I was not able to run the whole
testsuite properly at the moment. I can have a look at that tomorrow.
What do you think?

On Windows, we would like to be able to have a default http.sslCAinfo
that points to an MSys path (i.e. relative to the installation root of
Git). As Git is a MinGW program, it has to handle the conversion
of the MSys path into a MinGW32 path itself.
Since system_path() considers paths starting with '/' as absolute, we
have to convince it to make a Windows path by stripping the leading
slash.

In git-send-email.perl, here are two checks to determine if
$smtp_server is an absolute path (so it'll be treated as a mailer) or
not (so it'll be treated as a hostname). The one that handles actual
mail processing has been taught to recognize Windows pathnames by
commit 33b2e81f.
The other check is just to tell the user what happened, so it's far
less important, but the current state is that we will still claim to
the user that c:/foo/bar is a server. =) This makes the second check
consistent with the first.

For a long time, this developer thought that Git's insistence that
pushing into the current branch is evil was completely merited.
Just for fun, the original patch tried to show people that Git is right
there, and that it causes more trouble than it does good when Git allows
you to try to update the working tree for fast-forwards, or to detach the
HEAD, depending on some config settings.
Surprisingly, the opposite was shown.
So here is the support for two new options you can give the config
variable receive.denyCurrentBranch:
'updateInstead':
Try to merge the working tree with the new tip of the branch
(which can lead to really horrible merge conflicts).
'detachInstead':
Detach the HEAD, thereby avoiding a disagreement between the
HEAD and the index (as well as the working tree), possibly
leaving the local user wondering how on earth her HEAD became
so detached.

On Windows, there are dramatic problems when a command line grows
beyond PATH_MAX, which is restricted to 8191 characters on XP and
later (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473).
Work around this by just cutting off the command line at that length
(actually, at a space boundary) in the hope that only negative
refs are chucked: gitk will then do unnecessary work, but that is
still better than flashing the gitk window and exiting with exit
status 5 (which no Windows user is able to make sense of).
The first fix caused Tcl to fail to compile the regexp, see msysGit issue
427. Here is another fix without using regexp, and using a more relaxed
command line length limit to fix the original issue 387.

At least for cross-platform projects, it makes sense to hide the
files starting with a dot, as this is the behavior on Unix/MacOSX.
However, at least Eclipse has problems interpreting the hidden flag
correctly, so the default is to hide only the .git/ directory.
The config setting core.hideDotFiles therefore supports not only
'true' and 'false', but also 'dotGitOnly'.
[jes: clarified the commit message, made git init respect the setting
by marking the .git/ directory only after reading the config, and added
documentation, and rebased on top of current junio/next]

This has the effect of increasing the address space from 2GB to 4GB under
64-bit Windows, reducing the likelihood of an "out of memory" error when
e.g. repacking a large repository. The test suite passes with this
patch, with and without the MEM_TOP_DOWN flag added to all VirtualAlloc
calls. While this is no guarantee that there are no issues with large
memory support (it could break Git on other setups than mine, for
example), it at least increases the chance that nothing obvious goes wrong
(such as errors introduced by faulty sign extension, say, with ssize_t).
