Personally I like /win/c etc., but sure, I guess you could put

There is a huge downside to this. I tried it. It totally broke all my
projects using CVS, because /cygdrive no longer existed, and all my
CVS projects used /cygdrive/f/CVSROOT as the Root
So try/use at your own risk! I think symbolic links are the way to go.
While I'm not suggesting that people should reassign their "cygdrive" prefix
to "/", I think the problem you saw in your case is a result of having set
CVS up when your setting was still "cygdrive" and the disconnect you get
now that it isn't. So I believe you'd see the same problem no matter what
you changed "cygdrive" to. Obviously, as you point out, symbolic links are
a good alternative in this case.
