Where is diff getting its path?

[Mark Scoville]

My Environment…

 

  Version: WinCvs 1.3.10.1 Beta 10 (Build 1)

  Windows XP Pro

  CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Mark/src/master

  CYGWIN=title glob

  Cygwin Version: 1.3.17-1

  ActiveTcl 8.4.1.0

 

My Problem…

 

Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

CVSROOT: :local:/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Mark/src/master (local mounted directory)

TCL is available, shell is enabled : help (select and press enter)

cvs diff Log1.txt (in directory C:\ensignWork\ESPL\)

cvs [diff aborted]: e:/src/master/CVSROOT: No such file or directory

 

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

 

Specifically the path e:/src/… I do not know where the e: is coming from. I have search through the non-binary files in the WinCvs tree, and search through the registry (even uninstalled, then cleaned our WinCvs entries in the registry and reinstalled). I cannot find a reference to “e:” anywhere. Even all the environment variables in my bash shell are “e:” free. Where is e: coming from? It seems to be replacing “/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Mark”.

 

Thanks for your help.

Mark.
