Possible Regression in cygpath

[Matt Hughes]

Prior to the latest release of cygwin (which translates to cygpath
version 1.6.1), the following command worked fine:

cygpath -d .

With the latest release of cygwin (which translates to cygpath version
1.8 I believe; the build was ~ August 10th), the same command
complains:

"cygpath: cannot create short name of ."

However, if I execute:

cygpath -d --absolute .

it works as expected.  It appears that in the latest release, cygpath
either requires that "--absolute" flag, or requires the path that is
passed in to be absolute.  Was this an intentional change?
