Rsync still appending exe extension

- Subject: Rsync still appending exe extension
Hi list,
This is a follow up to ...
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00106.html
... describing a recent bug where rsync on cygwin would add a .exe
extension to executable files, making the copy different to the
original.
It appears this may have been "fixed" but I've found a case where the
behaviour is back. I back up my entire work area which includes several
active subversion checkouts to an external hard disk. There are cases we
have executable files are checked in and SVN stores a copy of the file
with a .exe.svn-base extension. Copying these with rsync gives an extra
.exe extension on the destination file, as in the sequence below.
Any chance this could be looked at and fixed in a future revision?
Thanks,
John
