That would imply that there are two distinct trees. But, as I understand it, / is a subtree of //. If so, isn't // the "real" root, and can't the algorithm simply use the dev and ino for // on Cygwin, so that getcwd always returns a name that begins with "//"? This wouldn't remove the need for some //-specific stuff, but it would mean fewer changes to the code. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
