Again, I find my version much easier to read:

char *gitdirname(char *path)
{
	char *p, *start;

	if (!path || !*path)
		return ".";
	start = path;
	/* skip drive designator, if any */
	if (has_dos_drive_prefix(path))
		start += 2;
	/* check for // */
	if (strcmp(start, "//") == 0)
		return path;
	/* check for \\ */
	if (is_dir_sep('\\') && strcmp(start, "\\\\") == 0)
		return path;
	/* trim trailing directory separators */
	p = path + strlen(path) - 1;
	while (is_dir_sep(*p)) {
		if (p == start)
			return path;
		*p-- = '\0';
	}
	/* find begining of last path component */
	while (p > start && !is_dir_sep(*p))
		p--;
	/* terminate dirname */
	if (p == start && !is_dir_sep(*p))
		*p++ = '.';
	else if (p == start)
		p++;
	*p = '\0';
	return path;
}

Also, when compiling on Cygwin with NO_LIBGEN_H, I need to
include the following here:

#undef basename

in order to suppress approx 230 warnings about the redefinition
of the basename macro.

(I suppose that should go in the previous commit. dunno)
