Same thing exists in Emacs versions back to at least 20.7, so this is
nothing new.
M-x grep foo ~/mydir/f*.el
results in this kind of output in buffer *grep*:
/cygdrive/c/mydir/foobar.el:203: blah blah foo blah
Seems like Emacs & grep should be able to keep `~/' instead of printing
`/cygdrive/c/'. The current behavior is less readable and uses 10 more
characters.
emacs -Q, then load cygwin-mount.el then setup-cygwin.el, found here:

Emacs behaves like what you see on all systems: grep reports the
absolute file names, and Emacs does not convert them back to ~/foo.
But even if we make that change, I doubt that you will see ~/foo in
your case, because Emacs doesn't know about the /cygdrive/c/ wizardry,
unless cygwin-mount will help it. And cygwin-mount isn't part of
Emacs, so we cannot fix it to support that.
And Grep cannot keep the ~/foo notation at all, because ~ is a shell
construct; applications and filesystems don't understand it, in
general (Emacs is an exception).

Yes, that's what I figured you'd say. Feel free to close the bug.
Or feel free to keep it open as an enhancement request.

Let me add to Eli's answer [tho, as someone whose experience with
Windows only goes as far as "install firefox&putty to access non-Windows
machines"]: IIUC the expansion of ~ (to something like "C:/...") is
performed by the shell used to run grep, and the conversion to
"/cygdrive/c/..." is performed by the particular grep you use
(presumably cygwin's).
So to fix the problem at hand we need:
- add something like cygwin-mount.el to Emacs.
- change grep.el to use abbreviate-file-name.
Contrary to Eli, I'm not fundamentally opposed to including something
like cygwin-mount.el in Emacs. As for changing grep.el, it could be
a valid option, tho it would either have to be a non-default setting, or
be done carefully to minimize the performance impact (M-x grep is
already slowish).
Of course, another take on it is to change the problem: maybe we could
make it easier to run an equivalent command with relative file names.
Not knowing how/why you ended up with "M-x grep foo ~/mydir/f*.el",
I don't know what could make it easier.

I use cygwin-mount and don't see this problem.
Make sure HOME is set in the Windows environment before launching emacs
(e.g. HOME=C:\home\ajm), that Cygwin is installed correctly at
C:\cygwin, and that the Cygwin mount table is correct (in my case with
/home mounted at C:\home). Cygwin will translate HOME to a POSIX path
automatically, and grep will be happy.

Everything you suggest (possibilities) sounds good to me.
Yes, if you use a relative path there is no such problem - e.g.,
M-x grep ../f*.el
I was in a directory far from the intended target. I could have first done `M-x
cd', and that's a good workaround. But I just gave the path to `grep' instead.
No biggee, but it would be good if the output were cleaner/simpler (assuming not
too great a cost).

Dunno how to check that. In bash, cd $HOME and cd ~ take me to /cygdrive/c, if
that helps.

FWIW, I am using an old version of Cygwin, having heard of various problems that
some Emacs users with more recent versions.
No, I don't have any details about the reported problems or which versions of
Cygwin. Just take it as given that I'm not about to change Cygwin versions
anytime soon. If there is no problem here with a more recent Cygwin build, then
that's good news and we can close this bug.
FWIW - My Cygwin version dates from 2006. I don't see any README file or doc
and I cannot find how to determine the version #. No, I didn't try googling
etc.
HTH.

Not sure what that means. What "this problem"? what _do_ you see in
Drew's example?

M-x grep is a low level interface to a shell command. It would make
more sense to add such niceties to lgrep (i.e. automatically extracting DIR
from FILES if DIR is nil)

No, but it's the standard approach and removes another source of problems.

Try running 'mount'

You really should upgrade. If you have Win95/98/Me then you are stuck
with the unsupported cygwin 1.5, but otherwise you really should upgrade
to Cygwin 1.7. The installer will cope with an upgrade from 1.5, or you
can just delete it all and start afresh.
Cygwin1.7 works just fine with Win32 emacs.

The problem is your setup - using C:\ as HOME is not a good idea. If you
want to shorten the reported paths, add a mount point "/c" mounted at "C:\".
Reading the fine manual for the details:
- Cygwin 1.7 (current) http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html
- Cygwin 1.5 (obsolete) http://cygwin.com/1.5/cygwin-ug-net/index.html

A minimal effort would have found that you need to run 'cygcheck'.

You have managed to elide all of the context here - some quoting is
useful.
As you have observed, emacs and grep are consistent. grep reports tha
absolute paths in its results, and emacs does not change that.
Drew sees results starting with '/cygdrive/c' because he has "HOME=C:\"
in Windows (which Cygwin will translate to 'HOME=/cygdrive/c' in the
Cygwin environment). The cygwin mount table is not setup in his
environment to translate '/cygdrive/c' to '/home'. Adding a mount point
would fix this.
The other point he made was about shortening the output from grep to
substitute ~ for /home/$USER. This would require additional code to
post-process the grep results in emacs.

So does my current version, AFAICT. It is fine for my needs. And as I said,
I've heard problems reported with more recent versions. I don't care to
investigate or defend whether such reports exist or are accurate.
I'm just telling you why I am not "upgrading". I already said to take that as
given. And I said that if the old Cygwin version is the problem here then we
can close the bug.

Up above you say "see below", but here below you just repeat that it is not a
good idea - no reason given.
Anyway, my setup is not a _problem_, for Emacs. At least not for my use of it
so far.
And if HOME=c:\ is "the problem" causing the reported behavior (grep output
noise), then I'd suggest that "the problem" is Cygwin not fully supporting c:\
as HOME.
It sounds like you are confirming that "the problem" exists even for later
Cygwin versions: Users cannot have HOME=c:\ and avoid the noise. Is that
correct?
Users should be able to have HOME= c:\.
That should be a no-brainer.
But this bug report is not about fixing Cygwin. If there is nothing Emacs could
or should do here, then we can close this bug.

> point "/c" mounted at "C:\".
Sorry; I don't want to "do" anything. I'm OK with the noisy output - just
reporting that things could perhaps be better (for Emacs `grep').

Right. Send users off to the top of the user guide to tell them how to work
around "the problem":... Sorry; I just don't care enough. My use of Cygwin is
minimal.

I was headed out the door and in a hurry. Otherwise I would have just googled
and found it quick enough. My point was that the doc is not very apparent on a
user's Windows box.
A "minimal effort" for a Windows application would be to include doc in the
`Cygwin' menu (from `Start > All Programs'), or at least include a link from
that menu to the online doc.
But again, I do not really care. And maybe a more recent version of Cygwin is
more Windows-user friendly in this regard; dunno.

I don't see how it would be helpful, because I was unable to
understand which part of Drew's description you refer to as "this
problem".

I thought that was the _only_ point Drew was making. Apologies if I
misunderstood.

Sure - tell cygwin that /home is mounted at C:\ and you're done.
