Problems under cygwin with out of tree repository

[RedX2501]

I have a .git file with a path to my gitdir. This path is in windows format so i can use git under windows also but git-up does not seem to like or understand it when using it under cygwin: Using it in the powershell it seems to work.

Interesting. Could you post the result from running git rev-parse --show-toplevel in this directory? And could you try running PyGitUp from Windows' cmd.exe?

[RedX2501]

Under cmd.exe and powershell.exe it seems to work.

Okay, what's the result of git rev-parse --show-toplevel on Cygwin, CMD and Powershell?

[RedX2501]

Powershell:

D:/_P/(obscured)/SW/50_Implementation

Cygwin:

/cygdrive/d/_P/(obscured)/SW/50_Implementation

git rev-parse --git-dir yields:

Powershell:

D:/Git_repos/out_of_tree/repo_name.git

Cygwin:

/cygdrive/d/Git_repos/out_of_tree/repo_name.git

[msiemens]

Just out of curiosity, what happens, if you use /cygdrive/d/Git_repos/out_of_tree/repo_name.git in your .git file instead of D:/Git_repos/out_of_tree/repo_name.git?

@RedX2501 Is this still relevant?

[RedX2501]

Tried it out with 1.4.0 and still the same behaviour.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/git-up", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('git-up==1.4.0', 'console_scripts', 'git-up')()

Output with a cygwin path produces a correct git-up error message:
Can't update your repo because it doesn't has any branches with tracking information.

Output with a cygwin path produces a correct git-up error message:

You mean when using a cygwin path in the .git file?

[RedX2501]

Yes

[msiemens]

Which console did you use? PowerShell or the Cygwin shell? If it's with both, this problem is fixed, isn't it?

[msiemens]

Just a quick heads up: GitPython v2.1.0 promises to improve Cygwin support (see this PR). It seems to improve path handling with Cygwin so maybe it fixes this problem. Could you update GitPython (pip install -U GitPython) and see if the problem is fixed?
