1.7.1-1 - forward slash UNC names to use 'noacl'


Listing the contents of a directory on our file server (a Samba share) by t=
he following command:
 
=A0=A0 $ ls -l
 
or explicitly
 
=A0=A0 $ ls -l ./
 
the output is
 
=A0=A0 ----------+ 1 ???????? <group> 600 2009-09-09 11:12 README.txt
=A0=A0 d---------+ 1 ???????? <group>=A0=A0 0 2009-09-09 11:03 conf
 
whereas the following command:
 
=A0=A0 $ ls -l .\\
 
outputs
 
=A0=A0 -rw-r--r-- 1 <user> <group> 600 2009-09-09 11:12 README.txt
=A0=A0 drwxr-xr-x 1 <user> <group>=A0=A0 0 2009-09-09 11:03 conf
 
I presume this behaviour has something to do with this point:
 
   http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html:
 
   - Incoming DOS paths are always handled case-insensitive and get no =
POSIX
     permission=2C as if they are mounted with noacl=2Cposix=3D0 mo=
unt flags.
 
My goal is to specify 'noacl' for forward slash UNC paths in order to displ=
ay file permissions in the same way as they are displayed with backslash UN=
C paths.
 
Is there any way to do this without mounting all file servers in question (=
we have many) with the 'noacl' option?
