I experienced the introduction of ".exe" suffixes when rsyncing a directory hierarchy with many checked out svn repositories: File names like freetbl.exe.svn-base were changed on transport to freetbl.exe.svn-base.exe I did not investigate whether this behaviour was triggered by the file magic number or just the ".exe" inside the name Cheers Thomas Berger -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
