Hmm, I've noticed the following behavior. If I run the following commands in an empty directory: mkdir foo mkdir bar touch foo/toto.exe cp foo/toto bar I'll get cp: `foo/toto' and `bar/toto' are the same file So maybe you're experiencing some odd artifact of Cygwin's semi-identification of filenames like "toto" and "toto.exe"?
