May be it's an old problem, I don't know, using essentially files "recently" created/modified. I want to say after 1970 No problem, but before ... To day: touch -m -t 190001011200.00 x gives touch: format de date « 190001011200.00 » incorrect touch -m -t 190101011200.00 x gives ok - with ls -l x: -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 0 1 janv. 1910 x touch used is well /bin/touch By comparison on Ubuntu 18 LTS touch -m -t 190001011200.00 x is correct I know, timestamps are managed differently in windows and linux. I see also with the new windows terminal with ubuntu On windows file, like /mnt/c/x (windows is mounted by linux) touch -m -t 190001011200.00 x ; echo $? gives 0 #No error but timestamp is set to 1970-01-01 On linux file as ~/x, it's correct; So, which confidence to have with cygwin about files of timestamp 19xx before 1970. May be it's ok after 1901. The answer is NOT. touch -m -t 190101011200.00 x gives sometimes format de date incorrect In some windows directories and more problematic, for a same directory, I don't understand why. May be due to embedded mounts. I hope to have been clear enough.
