Hum, I don't think this is a requirement. At least nothing is said about
CCing Junio on the Git Web site.

Anyway, now Junio is CCed :)

It's not a requirement, but he won't act on things he doesn't see, and CC'ing
him directly is the recommended way of getting his attention. Most people do
so for patches that aren't directly related to a sub-part of git primarily
maintained by someone else (Shawn O. Pearce for git-gui, Eric Wong for git-svn,
etc., etc.)

Nice. If my suspicions are correct and he missed your patch the first time
around, you should probably resend it though.

I still have it in my mailbox.

I saw the patch but saw nobody else said about the patch being helpful
to his installation, nor more importantly, "Good, this won't hurt for me
who run a different vintage of Cygwin", and I was waiting for such
confirmations.

Then nobody responded, so I forgot.

That was what happened the first time Pascal's patch was posted.

I think the patch is fine; I just checked with my copy of Cygwin that I
haven't fired for some time (it was a pain waiting for it to update to
the latest set of git sources).

I am at work and will be busy for the rest of the afternoon, so won't be
applying it until this evening, though.

Ok, thanks. No urgency with this patch anyway.

Pascal.

Only one, insofar as I can see; You didn't CC Junio. He probably missed it.

I pretty well understand that this patch is not very important but since
I got no reply I'm wondering if there is something wrong with it ?

[PATCH] Set OLD_ICONV on Cygwin.

[Pascal Obry]

Cygwin still has old definition for the iconv() second
parameter. This patch fixes the last warning on Cygwin.
This has been tested with Cygwin 1.5.24.
