Mount gives:
Z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
It's an ordinary LAN share on another local Windows box, mapped to
drive Z: via "Map network drive" in Explorer (Win7). I have full
permissions.
You are more than welcome to read the strace output if that'll give
you a clue (it doesn't give me one). All 1.7 MBytes of it are at
http://nerdfever.com/files/strace.txt
(That comes from "strace git clone
https://github.com/nerdfever/pic32mx-bmf >strace.txt")
I'm still stumped.
