I am not sure, that this was fixed correctly. Consider:
mw1g017@MW1G17C% ls -l d:bash.strace
-rw-r--r-- 1 mw1g017 ITS 7828140 Oct 11 20:09 d:bash.strace
mw1g017@MW1G17C% pwd
/cygdrive/d/temp
mw1g017@MW1G17C% cygpath -a -u d:bash.strace
/cygdrive/d/bash.strace
mw1g017@MW1G17C% ls -l /cygdrive/d/bash.strace
ls: /cygdrive/d/bash.strace: No such file or directory
The x:path is treated by Windows as "relative to current directory of drive
x". Instead, cygpath treats it as "relative to root directory of drive x". See
the difference?
BTW windows path as reported by cygpath is also wrong:
mw1g017@MW1G17C% cygpath -a -w d:bash.strace
d:bash.strace
This is not an absolute path.
