Thanks. > [PATCH 08/14] help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin > [PATCH 09/14] t1301-*.sh: Fix the 'forced modes' test on cygwin I sense that there is something fundamentally wrong with the tricky l/stat emulation set-up code there, but I lack an expertise to judge if these two patches is going in the right direction.
