I am having a problem with "cp" that is not present in the previous
(non-test) version.  I'm running the latest Cygwin on Windows 10:

    CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19044 8PZCBK3 3.3.5-341.x86_64 2022-05-13 12:27 UTC
x86_64 Cygwin


The "cp" commands are in a Makefile.  These are all text (not binary)
files.  "here" is a directory.

if [ -a 2022/QSN2205.EXC ]; then cp -pvf 2022/QSN2205.EXC here; fi
if [ -a 2022/QSN2205.TXT ]; then cp -pvf 2022/QSN2205.TXT here; fi
if [ -a 2022/ignore.csv  ]; then cp -pvf 2022/ignore.csv  here; fi


These are the target files that are being copied *to*:

-rw-rw----+ 1 jr920141 Domain Users    11022 May 23 08:01 here/ignore.csv
-rw-rw----+ 1 jr920141 Domain Users   303543 May 23 10:25 here/QSN2205.EXC
-rw-rw----+ 1 jr920141 Domain Users 14395440 May 23 08:00 here/QSN2205.TXT


These are the source files that are being copied *from*:

-rw-rw----+ 1 jr920141 Domain Users    11303 May 24 08:20 ignore.csv
-rw-rw----+ 1 jr920141 Domain Users    20944 May 24 10:17 QSN2205.EXC
-rw-rw----+ 1 jr920141 Domain Users 14941120 May 24 08:19 QSN2205.TXT


It just so happens that the files are (now) the same.  I had already done
the copy and no longer have the old files that were in the "here"
directory.  But it doesn't matter whether the files are the same or
different.  The problem still occurs.

This is the result:

[8PZCBK3:~/DXspots] $ make here

'2022/QSN2205.EXC' -> 'here/QSN2205.EXC'
'2022/QSN2205.TXT' -> 'here/QSN2205.TXT'
cp: cannot create regular file 'here/QSN2205.TXT': File exists


It makes no sense to me that the .EXC file was copied overtop of the
existing file, file but the .TXT file was not.  The TXT file has DOS line
endings.  The EXC file does not.  I don't see why that would/should make a
difference.

cygcheck.out is attached.
