The first (setup) test attempts to create a file, using the
test_commit function, called 'i can has snapshot?'. On cygwin
(and MinGW) this fails with a "No such file or directory" error.
In order to fix the tests, we simply remove the '?' wildcard
from the name, since the purpose of these tests is not about
creating funny filenames.

All right.

Thanks.

BTW. if the test was about handling funny filenames (containing
leading, embedded and trailing space, +&@=<>"' characters), what
should we do instead?

Hmm... dunno; take a look at t3600-rm.sh and t4135-apply-weird-filenames.sh
for inspiration? ;-)

Just FYI the "illegal" pathname characters in windows include:
    < > : " / \ | ? *
along with control chars from 0 - 31.
Also, you can't have any trailing spaces or periods.

ATB,
