Greetings, All!
I would like to request a small functional change for cygpath.
In the event of empty given path argument (i.e. `cygpath -ml ""') silently
return an empty result without error message.
This would greatly simplify wrapper scripts.
Why isn't redirecting the message to /dev/null not sufficient, something
like this (bash syntax)?
cygpath -ml "" >/dev/null 2&>1
