Yeah, it was obviously too late yesterday.  The patch was wrong twice.

I pushed a patch for the patch which should show up in the just
building cygwin-3.6.0-0.381.g8cc55d819bb7 test release.

I never saw that before.  Is that syntax really usable?

I just spent half an hour trying to connect to a nextcloud instance

I have a local patch removing this at-sign, but I would first like
to hear if this is really usable and used.
