No, unfortunately not:

# Using the drive letter:
~/lib [504] $ cp u:/repository/main/lib/Statistics.hdb .
cp: skipping file `u:/repository/main/lib/Statistics.hdb', as it was replaced while being copied

# Using cygdrive:
~/lib [507] $ cp /cygdrive/u/repository/main/lib/Statistics.hdb .
cp: skipping file `/cygdrive/u/repository/main/lib/Statistics.hdb', as it was replaced while being copied

# Using the full network path:
~/lib [508] $ cp //titan/u-maple/repository/main/lib/Statistics.hdb .
cp: skipping file `//titan/u-maple/repository/main/lib/Statistics.hdb', as it was replaced while being copied

~/lib [505] $ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 mushroom 1.5.20s(0.155/4/2) 20060326 22:52:56 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

All of the above worked fine with 1.5.18, and I believe versions 1.5.19.[123]
