Hi!
When I open a Cygwin window on Windows XP, the shell starts in
/home/username, and procexp (sysinternals.com) shows that the bash
process current directory is C:\cygwin\home\username\. That's all good,
then, but under Windows 7 RC1 build 7100 the bash process current
directory is C:\Windows\ even though the shell still starts in
/home/username.
This seems to happen even if I set SYSTEMROOT and WINDIR to something
else (so I have no environment variables pointing to C:\Windows).
This is causing some problems. Specifically, rake db:bootstrap, using
ruby and sqlite3, tries to create temporary files under C:\Windows, and
they get access denied. Under Windows 7, this directory is owned by
TrustedInstaller, and it doesn't even seem possible to give myself write
access as a workaround. Though, I am allowed to create files there using
Windows Explorer.
