Hi Linda, 
you are right but there is a easy trick :-)
at least if a cygwin shell is working

$ cd /usr/share/doc/bash-3.2.33/

/usr/share/doc/bash-3.2.33
$ cygcheck -f README 
(No Answer)

/usr/share/doc/bash-3.2.33
$ cygcheck -f $PWD/README 
bash-3.2.33-18
(Right answer)

if cygwin is not working, cygpath and cygcheck 
should be used together
 
C:\cygwin\usr\share\doc\bash-3.2.33>cygpath -a README
/usr/share/doc/bash-3.2.33/README

C:\cygwin\usr\share\doc\bash-3.2.33>cygcheck -f
/usr/share/doc/bash-3.2.33/README
bash-3.2.33-18

Regards
Marco
