This is because basic POSIX permissiosn are that -stupid +limited. And because in Windows there's no inherent super-user. Even SYSTEM do not have powers to go against set permissions. POSIX permissions in Cygwin are emulated using Windows ACL. Part of the answer can be found in https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.ssh-pubkey-stops-working The rest is in https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html > I have cloned git repository of UWP application, and deployment fails in VS > with error: > "DEP0700: Registration of the app failed.

It is easily fixable by mounting directories outside Cygwin tree with "noacl" flag. It is even required to do so, if you expect interoperation between Cygwin and native tools. > Also when accessing ACL from Explorer it throws: > "The permissions on <directory> are incorrectly ordered, which may cause > some entries to be ineffective." > And forces me to reorder them if I want to edit.
