rsync appends .exe extension


Hi
I copying files from a linux station to a win32 - cygwin 1.7 station using the current openssh server from cygwin


I run:
rsync -rpogv . -e "ssh" host:/

This works, except that for some binaries ( I could not determine any pattern or rule ) ending with .exe .src or .sys , cygwin adds .exe extensions ( yielding files like .sys.exe ).
Is this normal behavior ? If yes, can it be disabled ?


( Note : that if this cannot be enabled, I think it renders rsync - cygwin more or less useless for a couple of mirroring tasks )

Thanks for your ideas
Peter
