Oh, and, btw. please only add one Name to the 'From' line. git-am chokes on this; it will drop all real-names and then use the first email-address as the Patch author. If you want to give credit to others, you should probably do so in the changelog message.
Thanks for letting me know about this. The multiple names were my goofy idea. Is there a git-approved way to attach a changelog message? Or do you mean the "commit message" which turns into the message subject?
This is quite a hack... Why is it needed? Why does cygwin need special treatment vs. other systems? _IF_ there are good reasons for this, why not add this kludge to the reverse lookup code?
Good questions. I run neither Cygwin nor Vista, so couldn't test this myself, and decided to pass it along after some formatting adjustments. I hope one of the original authors will reply.

$Id$ tags can be removed along the way.
I almost removed it from misc-test.e, but wasn't sure whether it serves some purpose or whether to replace it with something else.
