Thanks. Something should be done here I think because otherwise you can
really unwittingly create a mess if someone else has created junctions and
you start renaming and moving files around. The behavior seems to be
unexpected and potentially destructive. Better to not allow any
(destructive) cygwin operations on such files than to have such unnatural
behavior.

I will look into getting mklink for XP in the meantime.
