You have exposed an old bug in Cygwin. This is what happens 245 146689 [main] cvs 696 open: open (./CVS/Entries, 0x602) 65 146754 [main] cvs 696 normalize_posix_path: src ./CVS/Entries 62 146816 [main] cvs 696 cwdstuff::get: posix /testmnt/cygwin/test/prj CVS/Entries is opened in text mode and /testmnt/cvsrep/prj is written to it 65 156719 [main] cvs 696 open: open (., 0x0) 68 156787 [main] cvs 696 normalize_posix_path: src . 60 156847 [main] cvs 696 cwdstuff::get: posix /testmnt/cygwin/test/prj 61 158197 [main] cvs 696 open: 6 = open (., 0x0) 63 158260 [main] cvs 696 chdir: dir '/home/sc0rp' 62 160106 [main] cvs 696 chdir: 0 = chdir() cygheap->cwd.posix '/test/prj' native 'c:\cygwin\test\prj' 61 160167 [main] cvs 696 fchdir: 0 = fchdir (6) The bug is that an fchdir does a chdir to the Windows path, which gets mapped to the wrong Posix path. 67 196039 [main] cvs 696 open: open (CVS/Entries, 0x0) 62 196101 [main] cvs 696 normalize_posix_path: src CVS/Entries 60 196161 [main] cvs 696 cwdstuff::get: posix /test/prj This time CVS/Entries is opened in binary mode and the filename is read with a final \r The fix is easy. I am wondering why the bug is not exposed in 1.5.9 Care to strace it?
