Dear cygwin / perl maintainers: When running svk, a package written in perl that runs "on top of" svn, I have found the attached patch to be necessary. Otherwise svk does not handle filenames properly. The first change is the essential one. The second one just eliminates an annoying and possibly confusing/alarming (but I think truly harmless) warning about setting something a second time. (The affected lines were only recently introduced, I believe.) This has been going on for some time, and I finally got organized to send this in, rather than continuing to edit the file myself after each update.
The file in question is: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/i686-cygwin/Cwd.pm Best wishes -- Eliot Moss ============================================================================== J. Eliot B.
