Description: On a current Cygwin system with git 2.39.0 (the latest version offered by the Cygwin package manager), git-daemon is present, with the Cygwin path /usr/libexec/git-core/git-daemon.exe. I believe this has been the case for a long time; as detailed below, Cygwin was not ever treated specially in the way that was assumed, yet no breakage resulted. The cygwin-test.yml workflow does not take any special steps to allow git-daemon to work, but all tests have been passing in it even without skipping or xfailing tests that seem related to git-daemon. The git_daemon_launched function in test/lib/helper.py invokes git-daemon directly (rather than through git daemon) only when is_win evaluates true. This only happens on native Windows systems, while Cygwin is treated the same as (other) Unix-like systems yet still works. So maybe Cygwin git-daemon was never a special case. Whether or not it was, the message about git-daemon needing to be findable in a PATH search is also under an is_win check, and thus is never shown on Cygwin. So I've removed the Cygwin part of that message. (Because the path shown is a MinGW-style path, I have kept the wording about that being for MinGW-git, even though it is no longer needed to disambiguate the Cygwin case.) The greatest value here is the simplification of the documentation and comments. But for consistency, and to make sure the code and comments don't disagree, I've removed the previous suppression of Cygwin special casing: now, Cygwin paths are allowed to be normalized using Cygwin path logic even when passed to git daemon as part of the tests. Both ways work on Cygwin in the tests actually being done. The code change part of this PR only affects test code. Nothing in this pull request modifies anything in the git module.
