Or at least put "#ifdef __cygwin" (I hope this is the define) around it? It just so ugly... And besides, GIT reportedly works without problems for many people even without it. Anyway, the patch is out, so anyone with the problems can just patch their copy to workaround this specific win2k problem. Thanks, Alex
