Re: odd behavior of symlinks on Win XP SP2


I suspect it's important in the longer term to track this down because they (MSFT) ~could~ make further changes down the road that break cygwin-created symlinks altogether (from the windoze perspective), which'd more than just "annoying".

No, Microsoft is not going to break things so that cygwin's symlinks no longer operate. Cygwin understands its own version of symlinks very well.

This comment is ridiculous. He clearly complained about MS-Software that cannot handle cygwin-created links, and you're talking about cygwin understand its own symlinks - well, think about it again.
