Fantastic! I just upgraded from 1.7.0-62 to -63, and my daily rsync
backup script can now see that handful of files on my system with
"weird" names [containing Unicode char U+F020] that were previously
untouchable by Cygwin.

Just wondering: What limitations, if any, are there now on the chars
from the U+F0xx range that can be used in filenames?
