This recent wish for SQLite on Cygwin to act more Unix-like is the first such request I've received, and I don't remember it being an issue with the previous maintainer, either.
Maybe the reason is because subversion didn't use SQLite before?
This behaviour breaks concurrency with other Cygwin executables using POSIX calls for file locking.
Advisory locking only works when all players cooperate. We can't assume that on Windows, unless we set up an insular Cygwin ghetto.
So, are you saying that Cygwin should use mandatory file locking?
Stop right here. If the compatibility with native WIndows tools is more important than the compatibility with POSIX and CYgwin POSIX tools with each other, then why do we bother at all to implement POSIX calls in the most POSIXy or Linuxy way possible?
