I just tried it for my self. I created a folder C:\usr\local\cvsroot using
Windows explorer and then from within Bash I did the following:
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ export
CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvsroot
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cvs init
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cd bin
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cvs import test me start
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cd /tmp
Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp$ cvs checkout test
cvs checkout: Updating test
U test/backup.pl
U test/backup.sh
U test/fixperms.sh
Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp$ cd test
Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp/test$ ll
total 7
drwxrwxrwx 2 Administ None 4096 Nov 13 17:18 CVS
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 845 Nov 13 17:16 backup.pl
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 131 Nov 13 17:16 backup.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 939 Nov 13 17:16 fixperms.sh
Final silly question, if your sandbox was previously pointing to your
repository at //c/usr/local/cvs have you edited your CVS/Root files to point
them at the new repository at /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs?
You could try recreating your CVS repository, maybe move what you currently
have out of the way, do the CVS init stuff and then move your repository
(but not CVSROOT directory) back.
Other than that, I'm out of ideas.
