I really like cygwin and have used it for a decade plus.  Only in the
last year or 18-months have I noticed significant permission issues
that slow down my workflow.

Copying these folders/files from one drive to another is a task I'd
like to accomplish, but even more importantly I'd like to understand
how to work with permissions in cygwin.  As it is, I'm concerned I
will have to leave cygwin behind and I don't want to do that.
