A problem with the patch utility and windows paths.


Greetings,

I've having a few issues with the patch utility.  It is not working with
windows paths.  I am using Windows XP and the latest cygwin patch.  Any help
is appreciated.  Attached is the cygcheck file.

If I have two directories "oldversion" and "newversion"

$ diff -u oldversion newversion >1.tm
$ patch <1.tm

Should work.  The following does work

$ diff -u a.cpp b.cpp >1.tm
$ patch <1.tm

This is what makes me think it is the windows paths.
 
Regards,
Bob Rundle
