reopen 10468 thanks ============= You didn't answer my question.. I explained why it was a bug. You didn't explain why it is copying links. Don't put it on me to reproduce w/o cygwin... the program's isn't behaving as documented. If you think it is the cause of cygwin... I asked you to explain why. The fact that there is no behavior in cygwin that would activate forced link coping doesn't seem to bother you. Eric Blake wrote:

Whether or not "cp" tries to duplicate links on the local system
has NOTHING to do with case sensitivity...
It is an explicit 'cp' option "--preserve=links" (turned on with
-a or -d -- neither of which I used in the 2nd and 3rd examples)...
