Greetings Adam.

I wasn't even aware you could do that with OneDrive - there's still no
Explorer
way of doing it in Windows 10 21H2 as far as I can see. Thanks for the
info. :-)

I imagine Cygwin doesn't know about the extended attributes being used
within
the local copy of your OneDrive directory so it is doing the move using the
underlying POSIX 'rename within mount' API which hopefully uses the Win32
'rename' but not in a way that carries the new 'O' attribute.

Presumably PowerShell's Move-Item does use the right flags to the Win32 API
call.

One of the problems the Cygwin maintainers have is that Microsoft introduces
'enhancements' to NTFS & the Win32 API arbitrarily in Windows updates
without
announcing them so it's a game of whack'a'mole.
