Android version control tool, repo, does not work with 
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict.

Below is the error message when I do "repo init ...":
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File 
"/cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/robert_bu/repo/report/.repo/repo/main.py", line

It seems that it is related to symlink handling of Cygwin. If I set 
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk, repo works. But other Windows tools, such as 
TortoiseGit, cannot parse the link.

Best regards.
