Now, to anticipate your next question, '/usr/bin/cat.exe' and
'/bin/cat.exe' are not duplicates either. See the results of typing 'mount'.
That was the exact opposite of what you meant to say, wasn't it? /usr/bin/*
and /bin/* absolutely are duplicates of each other, as you hoped to point out
by showing them mounted to the same place.
I guess that depends on what you mean by "duplicates". I meant it as in
one is not a copy of the other. They are the same file as viewed from
two different directory paths. Delete one in one path and the other goes
too. A "duplicate" to me means that I could delete '/usr/bin/cat.exe', for
example, and still have '/bin/cat.exe'. This is not the case with Cygwin.
Hopefully that clarifies things for everyone. :-)
