cp -u always copies all files

I'm running this Cygwin distribution on Windows XP Pro:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 den-aet-xpw002 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) 2003-09-20 16:31 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
My most pressing question is why "cp -u" always copies all files instead of
only updated ones. I have tried this with several test files, and it never
once offers to copy only new/updated files. Is this a bug, or is there some
other way I can test this and report back my findings?
Thanks.
