User-defined rules not working on Windows

[jorisroovers]

Hello,

I tried creating user-defined rules on a Windows host (using Git-Bash) and those are not discovered.
I have created a CommitRule UC1 based on one of your examples.

Do you experience the same behavior?

@ttwister I just tried this on Windows 10 (python 2.7) against the master branch of gitlint itself, and it works for me if I use --ignore-stdin to work around #91.

Administrator@EC2AMAZ-SLPGD0V MINGW64 /C/Users/Administrator/gitlint (master)
$ gitlint --ignore-stdin --extra-path examples/my_commit_rules.py
1: UC1 Body contains too many lines (14 > 3)
1: UC2 Body does not contain a 'Signed-Off-By' line

Also worked on regular CMD (without --ignore-stdin):

(.venv) C:\Users\Administrator\gitlint>gitlint --extra-path examples\my_commit_rules.py
1: UC1 Body contains too many lines (14 > 3)
1: UC2 Body does not contain a 'Signed-Off-By' line

Since this issue has been stale for a while and I can't reproduce this, I'm closing this out. Please feel free to open a new issue if required.
