Hi again,
Sorry to fix top-post of the previous mail.
Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.31-2. This is mostely a bugfix release.
- Workaround a problem following native NTFS symlinks. This patch has been
not applied to 1.7.30, accidentally.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-04/msg00384.html
Android version control tool, repo, does not work with
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict.
Below is the error message when I do "repo init ...":
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/robert_bu/repo/report/.repo/repo/main.py", line

It seems that it is related to symlink handling of Cygwin. If I set
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk, repo works. But other Windows tools, such as
TortoiseGit, cannot parse the link.
Best regards.
