Many tests pass $(pwd) in some form to git and later test that the output
of git contains the correct value of $(pwd). For example, the test of
'git remote show' sets up a remote that contains $(pwd) and then the
expected result must contain $(pwd).
Again, MSYS-bash's path mangling kicks in: Plain $(pwd) uses the MSYS style
absolute path /c/path/to/git. The test case would write this name into
the 'expect' file. But when git is invoked, MSYS-bash converts this name to
the Windows style path c:/path/to/git, and git would produce this form in
the result; the test would fail.
We fix this by passing -W to bash's pwd that produces the Windows-style
path.
There are a two cases that need an accompanying change:
- In t1504 the value of $(pwd) becomes part of a path list. In this case,
the lone 'c' in something like /foo:c:/path/to/git:/bar inhibits
MSYS-bashes path mangling; IOW in this case we want the /c/path/to/git
form to allow path mangling. We use $PWD instead of $(pwd), which always
has the latter form.
- In t6200, $(pwd) - the Windows style path - must be used to construct the
expected result because that is the path form that git sees. (The change
in the test itself is just for consistency: 'git fetch' always sees the
Windows-style path, with or without the change.)

Using git with GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES crashed on Windows due to a failed
assertion in normalize_absolute_path(): This function expects absolute
paths to start with a slash, while on Windows they can start with a drive
letter or a backslash.
This fixes it by using the alternative, normalize_path_copy() instead,
which can handle Windows-style paths just fine.
Secondly, the portability macro PATH_SEP is used instead of expecting
colons to be used as path list delimiter.
The test script t1504 is also changed to help MSYS's bash recognize some
program arguments as path list. (MSYS's bash must translate POSIX-style
path lists to Windows-style path lists, and the heuristic did not catch
some cases.)

Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.
For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.
