Um, yes, but IMHO that would be a  hack - mostly because it'd have to do 
that in every subdir in the tree, as it can't know for sure any other 
way for the subdir in question (for all it knows, different stuff might 
be mounted in /foo/bar wrt /foo (or /foo/bar/.. for that matter).

The "problem" I'm facing is Cygwin-specific. I *think* it is rather 
uncommon as a problem outside the Cygwin-powered world, so I'd opt for a 
Cygwin-specific solution in the same direction as the other 
platform-specific solutions in CVS as implemented..

Just my two HFL 0.02.. ;)

PS [OT]: HFL 0.02 hasn't been dispensible in valid currency since the 
mid-80s, when the currency that had a value of HFL 0.01 went the way of 
the dodo; the HFL (dutch guilder) is nostalgically missed since the 
introduction of the Euro, which became the *only* acceptable currency in 
The Netherlands on 2002-02-17. HFL 0.02 was then mapped to EUR 0.01, 
which is about CAN 0.02, which would have been about HFL 0.04 ;)
