Since upgrading to 1.7, I keep seeing weird problems with deletion of my
homedir symlink.
Before running setup:

After running setup:
Copying skeleton files.
These files are for the user to personalise their cygwin experience.
They will never be overwritten nor automatically updated.
`./.bashrc' -> `/home/pwohlers//.bashrc'
`./.bash_profile' -> `/home/pwohlers//.bash_profile'
`./.inputrc' -> `/home/pwohlers//.inputrc'
pwohl...@h1n1 ~
$ pwd
/home/pwohlers
pwohl...@h1n1 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 h1n1 1.7.2(0.225/5/3) 2010-03-24 21:12 i686 Cygwin
Setup seems to have deleted the softlink for /home
Interestingly enough, the other softlinks mapping /cygdrive/c/ and
/cygdrive/d/ to /c and /d respectively don't seem to get overwritten.
Deleting /home and re-linking works fine until the next time I run setup.
Is there something magical about the /home symlink that now needs to be
handled with fstab? Or is it something else?
didn't see much in mailing list archives or docs.
Any insight appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter Wohlers
