The fact that cygwin and windows-native paths are incompatible is not
widely known. Actually, anyone that tries it will find out quickly
enough. It is the solution that is not widely known. The trick of
using cygpath in the editor command 1) needs to be documented, but 2) is
windows specific -- and therefore I don't feel it should go into the
cross-platform documentation (i.e., edit.m).
I think that a brief statement along the lines of the following would be
good in the edit.m command (people who don't use cygwin can ignore it
easily enough):
Note to Cygwin users: To use your favorite windows based editor
(e.g. C:\Program Files\Good Editor\Editor.exe) with the
edit command, you will need to setup your editor similarly to
edit editor 'C:/Program Files/Good Editor/Editor.exe `cygpath -wa %s`'
The example could be changed to (x)emacs or something else if preferred.
