As expected, this version avoids re-introducing the bug on Cygwin.

I tested the series on Cygwin, MinGW and Linux and it passes it's
own tests (t1306-xdg-files.sh) on all platforms. (Well, on MinGW
I had to run it thus:

    $ GIT_TEST_CMP='diff -ub' ./t1306-xdg-files.sh

otherwise the first two tests fail because of CRLF vs LF issues).

Thanks!
