Re: Surprising results (ls: no such file or directory) with managed mounts

The real fix, which I've mentioned before, would be
altering rename() to fail with EXDEV when renaming
files across managed mount points.  But as I don't
have copyright assignment in place for cygwin1.dll,
I'm relying on someone else to write such a patch.
In the meantime, just don't do that.
