You're right, when using the default -2. If you switch to -1, things get 
better, but then the chere functionality of cd'ing to a directory fails. 
Fun.

-2 mode fails because fish recognizes a login shell by $0 being exactly 
"-fish", but chere is using "-/bin/fish". There's a trivial patch* to 
fish.cpp which could make this work better for us.

-1 mode fails because fish would prefer cygpath was run on the argument 
first. I'm not sure why this works in bash.

I'll try put together a fix for the latter issue, but it may be a while 
before I can upload*.

Konrad, are you able to chase the former issue? NB Konrad's email 
provider is out of action.

Ronald, your choices as the moment:
- Add cygwin\bin to your windows path
- Use the above snippet without the check for a login shell, and method 
-2. If you don't start too many subshells you're probably OK. If you do 
need subshells, you could change the check to test if /bin is already in 
the path.



Dave.
