Ah. I'm not using a Cygwin shell (PowerShell actually). So the expansion happens before cygpath sees it, which is why it works in a Cygwin shell but not directly from Windows... So therefore I can write dash -c '/bin/cygpath -w ~' To get it, but this seems a bit roundabout and awkward. Is there any way to do it more directly from a Windows shell? Thanks!
