I see four > things wrong: 1) the assumption that "most people" using a pre-built, > native Windows binary of GPS are using cygwin; Many people I know are using the binary distribution of GPS but the first thing they install on their Windows box to start working is Cygwin. And not only for Subversion, but for ssh, rsync, scp, X11, bash, xterm, emacs, awk, sed... And not for building GPS but for working on their daily projects. > 2) the docs still state > that "System_Default" is the path_style default when it has been > changed to "CYGWIN"; You are speaking of the value set by default. The doc state the default value (when no value is specified). The doc is not for the Subversion, CVS or any other supplied VCS but for writing a new VCS yourself. And yes when no value is specified then System_Default is used. That's true, the doc is correct. > 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 No need for that, see below. > 4) there is no option within GPS itself to change it > (at least not in the most recently-available GPL binary). That's indeed the case. In recent version of GPS you can chose the Subversion mode you want (Cygwin or Native).
