I would argue that the phrase "most people" should be somewhat qualified. It is probably true that when someone builds GPS from source they are using cygwin. But I believe that when someone downloads the pre-built, native Windows binary of GPS they are probably *not* using cygwin. (And most people using Subversion on Windows are probably using TortoiseSVN anyway.) > Don't see anything wrong here. Wow, I'm sorry but I think that's being a bit cavalier. I see four things wrong: 1) the assumption that "most people" using a pre-built, native Windows binary of GPS are using cygwin; 2) the docs still state that "System_Default" is the path_style default when it has been changed to "CYGWIN"; 3) there is nothing in a README file or anywhere else that says "If you are not running Cygwin you need to edit path_style"; and 4) there is no option within GPS itself to change it (at least not in the most recently-available GPL binary). I don't think I'm being overly picky here. Outside of the Cygwin environment, the Subversion setting for VCS is broken in the Windows binary release package. Sure, it's a simple fix *if* you know what's wrong, and *if* you know where to fix it -- but it's still broken. There should at least be a note to this effect in a README.
