I reinstalled cygwin after a disk failure recently and one of my
scripts stopped working. The problem can be easily reproduced by
entering:
$ cygpath -m boo/..
cygpath: error converting "boo/.." - No such file or directory
this is with version 1.7.24(0.269/5/3). On another machine with 1.7.17
installed, the same command results in "./".
I can workaround by using backslashes instead of forward slashes but
other people might find their scripts broken as well.
Cheers,
Dave
