The user should never be SYSTEM anyway... it'll be the user who is 
issuing the command (or whoever the user was overridden as).  I'm not 
sure how you managed it in 2.0.51... it'll automatically drop into 
cygwin sshd compatibility if SYSTEM tries to invoke a command and use 
$USER to work out the real username - that's been true for a long time.

using this script:
@echo off
d:
cd d:\t
if exist pc_log goto :end
echo >pc_log
cd d:\t\test
echo foo >>Changelog
cvs commit -m "xx" Changelog
cd d:\t
del pc_log
:end

generates this log (I changed the settings between each commit so it 
gets different users):
