I missed the "." in the original message. The change that prompted this behavior seems to be . I'm assuming the motivation for this patch was to duplicate Linux's behavior (which doesn't allow trailing "." in a path passed to mkdir). There must be some Cygwin-specific code in cvs that adds that trailing dot. I'll take a look at the cvs sources later.
