As suspected, you have textmode mounts -- see Igor's response which was spot on. To summarize, using '\' as a path seperator bypasses all of Cygwin's processing since it signals a native windows path/filename. So if you have textmode mounts and files with \r\n line endings, and only one argument has a '\', then that file will not go through Cygwin's line ending translation while the other will, and thus diff thinks every line differs. The solution is to use "--strip-trailing-cr" or alternatively, either use a '\' in both arguments or not at all.
