Oh, wow. That's...awkward. I'm sharing the same drive area mounted in 
both cyg32 and cyg64 for my builds, and repo'ing the cygport & related 
files using git.  So far I always have done the git manipulations in 
cyg32...guess I need to make sure I continue to do it that way!

(I could always "clone" the repo(s) to a new area on cyg64, but I would 
probably have to use one of the wire protocols and not the file system 
protocol to do it).
