      git-gui: Warn Cygwin users about possible environment issues. · 1d8b3cbf
      Shawn O. Pearce authored
      
      Because the Tcl binary distributed with Cygwin tends to not pass along
      its own environment (the env array) to its children, its unlikely that
      any Git commands spawned by git-gui will receive the same environment
      variables that git-gui itself received from the shell which started it.
      
      If the user is counting on environment variables to pass down, like say
      GIT_INDEX_FILE, they may not, so we warn them during git-gui startup
      that things may not work out as the user intended.  Perhaps one day
      when git-gui and git are running on native Windows (rather than through
      the Cygwin emulation layers) things will work better.
