Subject: [PATCH v2] Fix dir sep handling of GIT_ASKPASS on Windows

From: "András Kucsma via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2020 13:45:10 +0000

From: Andras Kucsma <[email-masked]>

On Windows with git installed through cygwin, GIT_ASKPASS failed to run
for relative and absolute paths containing only backslashes as directory
separators.

The reason was that git assumed that if there are no forward slashes in
the executable path, it has to search for the executable on the PATH.

The fix is to look for OS specific directory separators, not just
forward slashes.

    Fix dir sep handling of GIT_ASKPASS on Windows
    
    On Windows with git installed through cygwin, GIT_ASKPASS failed to run
    for relative and absolute paths containing only backslashes as directory
    separators.

    Changes since v1:
    
     * Avoid scanning the whole path for a directory separator even if one
       is found earlier as suggested by Junio C Hamano.
