To Do

Cygwin Related Issues

• Issue — Cygwin Git shows lots of modified files when changing directory with cd. For instance:

cd ~
git st               # No modified files
cd bin
git st               # Plenty of modified files in bin/ and one in ../.vim (strangely...)

Settings:

• autocrlf = input (in .gitconfig)
• ignorecase = true (in .git/config)
• filemode unset
• Issue — Synergy interfers with Cygwin/X, AltGr not working. See bug.
