Adam, Ken, thank you for taking time to help me. (BTW, did you keep my address in CC? Because I didn't get any of your replies. I had to check the mailing list web archive [1]).
BTW(2): For the record, some data points I forgot to give in my initial post: * The underlying filesystem is NTFS. * I did not have this problem some weeks ago, with the same system, Cygwin installation, and git repo. Therefore, some change/update in my system/environment must have introduced the problem. Ken's suggestion (setfacl -b test) didn't work, but it did work when I executed it on individual files (eg. 'test/rmailmm.el' instead of 'test'). So the problem is apparently fixed after doing: find . -exec setfacl -b {} \; Thank you so much. -- Dani Moncayo Footnotes: [1] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-09/ -- 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
