Re: checkout/update is broken in cygwin

[Gianni Mariani]

Never mind - this turns out to be a cygwin bug that I'm not exactly sure 
how it happens.  It seems
that a call to open the stimpy/uluru/external/lame directory succeeds 
when it should not hence confusing
the cvs logic.  Simply checking out in a different directory is a 
work-around.  It must be a problem with
cacheing directory entries or somthing like that in cygwin.  Another 2 
hours wasted ...
