7u40 on WXP/Cygwin: webrev: Is there a java or ant version of webrev?

[Magnus Ihse Bursie]

You should never use dos (or mixed) style paths, like Z:/dev, in Cygwin. 

Since Cygwin never presents $PWD like that, I suspect the problem is that you have gotten a bad path somewhere, most likely in your hgrc.

What does cat .hg/hgrc say?

And - importantly - did you clone the repo using hg from Cygwin and not TortoiseHG? The latter does not work well with Cygwin, and could very well end up writing a dos/mixed style path to the hgrc, which would then cause webrev to fail.

Thus I am wondering if there is a java or ant version of webrev because I am not able to fix this issue in a 3000+ lines of ksh while that's not a problem in java or ant.
