Subject: 1.5.5-1: cygpath bug
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

Hi,

In a script I am using cygpath for Cygwin version (1.5.5-1). It seems to 
have a bug:

   $ cygpath --path --windows "C:\foo"
   C;C:\cygwin\home\masoud\\foo

Which is clearly wrong. If one does it in two steps then it comes up 
with the right behaviour:

   $ cygpath --path --unix "C:\foo"
   /cygdrive/c/foo

   $ cygpath --path --windows /cygdrive/c/foo
   c:\foo

In my script I had to use this workaround.

Masoud
