Thanks.... What was I thought about when wrote this....

IMHO, the semantic of this function is clear: do_stat performs stat/lstat
using Windows API with falling back on Cygwin implementation in those
rare cases that it cannot handle correctly. Absolute path is just one of
those cases. So, I am not sure what you win by moving this two lines out.

This is specific to cygwin.

These lines the same as mingw

I set this to 0, while MinGW Git uses _getdrive(). I have no idea why
it does so. Git does not use this field, and if it did, adding the
_current_ drive number is useless at best when we are trying to
determine whether the file is changed or not.

This is the same as for MinGW

This is different: using 64-bit version for st_size, st_blocks does not
exist in MinGW, and finally filetime_to_timespec instead of filetime_to_time_t,
as well as the name of fields is different (st_ctim instead of st_ctime, etc).

This is the same as in MinGW, except the default case, where MinGW
returns error immediately while this version calls the fallback
function.

I don't see much common code here. Initialization of 5 variables where
four of them are just constants? Perhaps, the biggest common part here
is conversion of dwFileAttributes to st_mode, but it is still 5 lines of
trivial code.
