After upgrading to the latest cygwin packages (coreutils, findutils,

This was a bug in Cygwin 1.5.19, which returned the wrong error code
for creating this directory, and CVS didn't know to ignore it.  Try a
snapshot.

Today I did try the latest snapshot (20060622) and it fixes the problem. With 1.5.19 it does not work. This was a fresh compile of cvs 1.12.12. So this is a cygwin error after all. How much longer do we have to wait for a non-snapshot fix? This has been broken for more than 5 months now.


Is this a rhetorical question. If not, the answer is - until it's ready.
