With non-existent server foo, and Cygwin 1.7.7 or the latest 1.7.8 snapshot:
$ cygpath -w //foo/bar \\foo\bar $ cygpath -w //foo cygpath: error converting "//foo" - No such file or directory Is that as intended? Also, both only return after a few seconds delay, so I assume they trigger network accesses. Is that necessary?
