Subject: Strange Cygwin 1.1.1 mv Behavior
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

After upgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1, I started to experience problems
using relative pathnames with mv when in my home directory:

    $ pwd
    /home/jt
    $ ls .foo 
    .foo
    $ mv .foo .foo2 
    mv: cannot move `.foo' to `.foo2': No such file or directory

But, the following using absolute pathnames works:

    $ ls ~/.foo
    /home/jt/.foo
    $ mv ~/.foo ~/.foo2
    $ ls ~/.foo2 
    /home/jt/.foo2

And, so does using relative pathnames with mv in a directory other than
my home directory:

    $ pwd
    /tmp
    $ ls .foo
    .foo
    $ mv .foo .foo2
    $ ls .foo2 
    .foo2

Note that the first case above works just fine under 1.1.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason
