It works for me:

$ cygcheck -cd python
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version
python               2.6.8-2

$ hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython
destination directory: cpython
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 80956 changesets with 179191 changes to 9812 files (+1 heads)
updating to branch default
3744 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Maybe you should send cygcheck output as requested here:
