Subject:	Using cp converts windows junctions to a cywin symlink
From:	Adrian H <adrianh DOT bsc AT gmail DOT com>
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

I was copying a directory of files, some of which were windows junctions.
These got converted to a cygwin symlink.  Although I am impressed that there
are such a thing for those OSs/drives that do not support such things, for those
that do, I think it would be good to keep the copy a junction.  Otherwise,
things can get messy.

Can this be corrected?

Thanks,


A
