Hi;

  Cygwin mv and cp fail: skipping file 'file', as it was replaced
while being copied

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 KWOLCOTT-9010 2.5.0(0.297/5/3) 2016-04-11 09:58 x86_64 Cygwin

$ mv new_Perforce_account_request.txt ~/.
mv: skipping file 'new_Perforce_account_request.txt', as it was
replaced while being copied

$ pwd
/cygdrive/p/Engineering/EOSS_Tableau/SFDC

$ cp new_Perforce_account_request.txt ~/.
cp: skipping file 'new_Perforce_account_request.txt', as it was
replaced while being copied

What's up with this?

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
