Creating webrev under Windows/cygwin fails

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

I will make a guess that the root cause is a mix between
cygwin paths & windows paths:

     Workspace: C:/dev/jdk8u-dev
     Output to: /cygdrive/c/dev/webrev

I would suggest trying to get 'hg root' return

       /cygdrive/c/dev/webrev

and see if that fixes the issue.
It's just a guess however.

best regards,
