Did you notice that the current working directory is
  /usr/src/binutils/2.11/1/bfd/doc

and you're trying to open a file called

  doc/CVS/Repository

?

So, either cvs is confused, your your directory layout is garbled, or you
didn't actually include the relevant part of the strace which would
indicate where this was actually screwing up in cygwin.
