The macro should be utilized, see git-compat-util.h:
#if defined(__CYGWIN__)
#include "compat/cygwin.h"
#endif
And further down
#ifndef has_dos_drive_prefix
static inline int git_has_dos_drive_prefix(const char *path)
{
return 0;
}
#define has_dos_drive_prefix git_has_dos_drive_prefix
#endif
#ifndef skip_dos_drive_prefix
static inline int git_skip_dos_drive_prefix(char **path)
{
return 0;
}
--------------------
But it may be that we need to pull in more stuff, similar to mingw,
to get the C: stuff working, see
"skip_dos_drive_prefix"
And it may even be that we need a special handling for the "\" to be treated
as "/".
If you implement "skip_dos_drive_prefix" similar to mingw,
(rename mingw into cygwin) does
git clone <source> C:/my/dir/
work ?
That would be a progress, I think.
