According to Eric Blake on 6/25/2007 6:14 AM:
> In short, if you want to expand a tarball that contains a file such as
> aux.c, or that has both foo and FOO, or any other problematic combination,
> the easiest solution is to:
> 
> mkdir managed
> mount -o managed "`cygpath -am managed" managed

well, fix the typo first...
mount -o managed "`cygpath -am managed`" managed

> cd managed
> tar xvf problematic.tar
> 
>> How do we solve this? Due to this exception, I must copy everything
>> manually for the moment. Time consuming, error prone, prehistorically,
>> and not the UNIX blast I'm used to.
> 
> Or better yet, don't create such problematic names in the first place when
> creating your DVD.  And why aren't managed mounts the default?  Because
> they slow down processing (which is already slow, since cygwin is an
> emulation layer), and they reduce the already short maximum file name
> limitations imposed by Windows.
