> What does sys.platform contain?

cygwin

this is the complete cygwin log :

$ python
Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Mar 13 2007, 08:13:14)
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.platform
cygwin
>>>
$

i see. this is not caused by cygwin neither, it is incompatibility
with ext2/3 and vfat

i see, thanks for the terminology

i don't know. but if file properties modification has
been implemented, i guess this information is
important to the project. do you mean that a
requirement would be disabling file property
change detection if different filesystems are found?

anyway, bzr status operates only on 1 repository at
a time, and in principle bzr does not know if the merged
branches have different filesystem types (i guess).

i'd just like to point out (no pun intented), that current
versions of bzr are unusable for serious development
if different programmers use different filesystem types,
or have to use different FS types for different work
enviroment, such as development and testing. i need to
remember which files i've changed when i perform
my merges.
