As I understand it, cygwin 1.7 won't support the old 1.5 managed mounts, but will have another filename encoding for non-ASCII filenames. IIRC, I read that all code for the old managed mounts has been removed from cygwin 1.7.
I'm just curious: How would users of managed mounts transform their file(name) data to the new encoding, once they have upgraded their cygwin version? Would they need to tar the files _before_ upgrading and untar _after_ updrading? Will there be a tool to convert the filenames? If this is all clear already, please don't flame me - but if not, then IMHO it's time to think about this.
