I know all the implications. I have to test in an unknown cygwin
environment if it is possible to set native symlinks.

Yes, this is the same for me, but if you use the powershell

# powershell "& {Get-Item -Path bar | Select-Object}"

on cygwin 3.0.7 you get


    Directory: D:\cygwin\home\rainer\temp


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a---l       03.03.2020     14:09              0 bar


and on cygwin 3.1.4 you get


    Directory: D:\cygwin\home\rainer\temp


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a---        03.03.2020     14:09              0 bar


The only difference is the used cygwin version. So, I don't understand
what has changed.

Cheers

Rainer
