Yes, *of course* there either has to be special accommodations for
managed mounts or you have to show that your change will not affect
normal cygwin operation for non-managed mounts.

Your patch just essentially nuked most of cygwin's handling of trailing
dots.  Unless you can prove that the previous code was misguided in the
general case of non-managed mounts, doing this is obviously the wrong
solution.
