(Sorry for late answer, I managed to test the original patch minutes before Peff merged it to pu)
(And thanks for maintaining git)

Is everybody using cygwin happy with this?

I managed to compile on a fresh installed cygwin,
but failed to compile under 1.7.7, see below.
Is there a way we can achieve to compile git both under "old" and "new" cygwin 1.7 ?
Or is this not worth the effort?
