/cygdrive is not a real directory. That "horrible" metadata you're complaining about isn't actually stored anywhere, it's generated by the system when you ask for it. A modification to the cygwin filesystem code could change what it reports, but what would you have it report? What's the meaning of the "last modified" date on a nonexistent directory that can't actually be modified? I think having it return zero is perfectly reasonable, but there are other reasonable choices. I suppose it could be set to some otherwise meaningful value like the build date.. -- Mark J.
