I don't know much about setting up CVS "for cygwin" but I would be very
surprised if it was different from setting up CVS "for UNIX". The point
of the Cygwin project is to create a UNIX environment on Windows. That
means that whatever UNIX docs you have access to should be applicable.
So, c:\cygwin is not a good choice for CVSROOT. Use UNIX paths like
/cvs . This will eventually resolve to something like c:\cygwin\cvs
but you can ignore that fact.
FYI, the CVS web site is: http://www.cvshome.org/ .
