mkdir (also syscall) return "Permission denied" when its argument refers to a mountpoint at the top of windows drive (probably also a windows mount, I haven't tried). For example: $ mount d: /d $ mkdir / mkdir: cannot create directory `/': File exists $ mkdir /d mkdir: cannot create directory `/d': Permission denied $ mkdir /d/tmp mkdir: cannot create directory `/d/tmp': File exists
This is highly unexpected, does not match linux behaviour (it returns EEXIST), and actually breaks git (git clone, creation of pathnames, to be precise).
