I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that even without looking at the permissions tab we ended up with the inability for anyone else in the group to write or update the head for the repository. This is a much bigger issue then just a display issue in Windows. It is causing read write permission issues where members can't push changes from their local trees after another team member pushes their changes. It seems to mess it up in such a way that a system admin must reset permissions after each push so that another team member can push their changes. This just started happening after updating cygwin in the last few weeks and is related to changes to the ACL that were done in the last couple of months. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
