I did try to do this, and couldn't reproduce the failure. The failure only happens in the git context for whatever reason. Note: To try to reproduce the problem with a simple C program, I used exactly the same files and filenames git had chosen in exactly the same directories. >From some older postings on this mailing list, I got the idea to try: MoveFileEx(<existing>, <new>, MOVEFILE_CREATE_HARDLINK); instead of: CreateHardLinkA(<new>, <existing>, NULL); in fhandler_disk_file.cc, and this actually worked for me. I'm currently running a cygwin1.dll with this local modification, and haven't seen problems yet. The funny thing is I have used canned git/cygwin successfully on other machines. Only with this particular machine have I seen this problem. Maybe it has to do with some interaction with a virus-checking program or other background process. > > Corinna > PS I am using gmane to post this message, and cannot CC you directly; sorry about that.
