You can fix this locally quickly using: $ fgrep 7001 /usr/bin/rebase* /usr/bin/rebaselst: touch -t 7001010000 "$1" $ sed -i /7001/s//198001/ /usr/bin/rebaselst $ fgrep 1980 /usr/bin/rebaselst touch -t 198001010000 "$1" and test this fix by running "rebase-trigger full", shutting down everything Cygwin, downloading and running setup. -- Take care.
