Hi All.
Please cc me on responses, as I don't subscribe to the list.
I'm using a 64 bit install on Windows 10. I just now did an update
and it did not help. The problem is with a particular repo only.
(Or at least, I only see it with this particular repo.) On Linux, do:
git clone git://github.com/arnoldrobbins/bwk-awk
cd bwk-awk
git status
You should see something like this:
$ git clone git://github.com/arnoldrobbins/bwk-awk

$ cd bwk-awk
$ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
On Cygwin, something strange happens instead:
$ git clone git://github.com/arnoldrobbins/bwk-awk
Cloning into 'bwk-awk'...

Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working
directory)
modified: regdir/Compare.T
modified: regdir/T.delete
modified: regdir/T.getline
modified: regdir/T.redir
modified: regdir/T.split
modified: regdir/T.sub
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
The "modified" files are from an earlier commit. Doing git reset --hard has
no effect.
On cygwin:
$ git --version
git version 2.17.0
On Linux:
$ git --version
git version 1.7.1
But it also works OK on a Linux system with git 2.17.1.
Any help would be appreciated. I hope that you can reproduce it.
Linux is case sensitive and Windows is case preserving.
That is probably the issue here, did the case of the files has been
changed (rename 100%)?

In other words, on "Cygwin" git can not handle files defering only by
the case.
