[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Cygwin 1.7.31-2

[Robert Bu]

Hi,

Android version control tool, repo, does not work with 
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict.

Below is the error message when I do "repo init ...":
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File 
"/cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/robert_bu/repo/report/.repo/repo/main.py", line 
500, in <module>
     _Main(sys.argv[1:])
   File 
"/cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/robert_bu/repo/report/.repo/repo/main.py", line 
476, in _Main
     result = repo._Run(argv) or 0
   File 
"/cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/robert_bu/repo/report/.repo/repo/main.py", line 
155, in _Run
     result = cmd.Execute(copts, cargs)
   File

     os.symlink(os.path.relpath(src, os.path.dirname(dst)), dst)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

It seems that it is related to symlink handling of Cygwin. If I set 
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk, repo works. But other Windows tools, such as 
TortoiseGit, cannot parse the link.

Best regards.
