Fair enough - my guess from the strace was that mv was stat'ing /c, finding
it not there (because the cygdrive prefix is set to / and Cygwin is taking
the directory listing of C:\Cygwin as authoritative for /) and trying to
copy the file ggg as /c. By making the directories, stat will succeed and
hopefully the file would be copied to the right location. I haven't actually
tested his test case with the latest snapshot, I was just going by the
strace.
