rsync - Aug 2009 - prepending /cygdrive/c/ to source line

Hello, either cygwin or rsync (version 3.0.6) is prepending /cygwin/c/ to the
source path from the command line.

	See last email?  Same problem w/evil windows quoting.
	See notes on symplifying.

	Add to notes on following advice from programs on versions being
too old:

Oddly it seems to not be complaining about the backslashes, and now I
understand why -- you are calling rsync (cygwin) from 
windows.

You are passing it \\ which means nothing in 'cygwin.

To get network access in cygwin, you use '//'.

Stay out of the Windows environment!  Or don't use the cygwin utils.
You can use the Win utils from the cygwin env, carefully -- the cygwin
people take pains to convert your environment vars (Path ) and such to
windows format.  But I know Windows isn't so careful.

If you don't want cygdrive inserted, then recompile your utils using mingw
for windows native mode, but for info on that...your on your own...'sides,
I'm a bit tapped out for the time being for some reason...;^/
