OK, so git pull:

Surprise... I hadn't touched (of course) org-fixup.el in any way, except by
changing the permissions (to 0777).

OK. Just do what git says: stash the changes.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
address@hidden:home/org-mode 0$ git stash

Error (lisp directory) not there!?? But the reason comes clearly to the
surface: a mix of Cygwin and Win32 syntax for the pathnames.

    C:/home/org-mode/lisp/ and
    /cygdrive/c/home/org-mode/lisp/

    becomes here c:/cygdrive/c/home/org-mode/lisp/...

Maybe you can understand from where that could come.

Anyway, let me already thank you a lot for your help on this. I appreciate it
a lot; thanks...

Best regards,
  Seb
