I'm not sure if posting my cygcheck output will be relevant because I don't want to upgrade git to 1.5.3 on this machine.
I did manage to setup another machine though and the behaviour is the same using git 1.5.3.2 Something I noticed is that when using git 1.5.2 the path to COMMIT_EDITMSG shows as c:\develop\web\.git\COMMIT_EDITMSG but on 1.5.3 the path is c:\cygdrive\c\develop\web\.git\COMMIT_EDITMSG -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
