Manish,
Thanks! IIUC, there are then multiple forks in the decision tree:
o running on Windows or on something else?
o if on Windows, running native or under cygwin?
o what shell am I using? cmd.exe and bash under cygwin accept
different syntax - in particular, the GITDIR=foo solution of
setting env variables has no hope of working under cmd.exe -
is that correct?
Sounds complicated. Maybe the best solution for now is to punt on
the git information on Windows?
(when (not (member system-type '(ms-dos windows-nt cygwin)))
...add git info...)
What about system-type == "darwin"? Does Bernt's code work there?
Thanks,
Nick
