This problem came up for Libidn but it seems to be a problem with the update-copyright self check, it fails under Cygwin.

I can't find anything in test-update-copyright.sh that creates them, so I suspect that Cygwin/Windows somehow creates backup files for some reason? Is there any way to disable that? Any other ideas? Meanwhile, I'm disabling this self-test in Libidn since it doesn't affect the stability of the rest of the package. Generally, this self-tests seems to be in a somewhat different class than usual self-tests, more like a maintainer-check thing? /Simon
