Ok. I wasn't sure as the behavior changed. It worked in 1.9.5 and then stopped working when I moved to 2.5.x. I'm not sure if it matters to you, but doing some bisecting it looks like the behavior changed between 2.2.0 and 2.3.0: ------------------------- [/cygdrive/d/projects] $ git --version git version 2.2.0.dirty [/cygdrive/d/projects] $ git --git-dir=d:/projects/git-git/.git config alias.foo ls-files [/cygdrive/d/projects] $ ------------------------- [/cygdrive/d/projects] $ git --version git version 2.3.0.dirty [/cygdrive/d/projects] $ git --git-dir=d:/projects/git-git/.git config alias.foo ls-files error: could not lock config file d:/projects/git-git/.git/config: No such file or directory ---------------------------- We'll adjust accordingly.

Hi Matt, Cygwin applications, including applications you've compiled yourself using the Cygwin toolchain, normally expect Cygwin's Linux-like paths, e.g. /cygdrive/d/projects/git-git. Attempting to use Windows paths simply isn't meant to work. You can convert from a Windows path to the equivalent Cygwin path using the cygpath utility, e.g.: git --git-dir="$(cygpath 'd:/projects/git-git/.git')" config alias.foo ls-files Adam -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
