In contrast, the behaviour of Cygwin 1.7, which is to read the actual
reparse point content and treat it as symlinks, does not make sense for
remote reparse points, apparently.  Only the remote system knows how to
treat them correctly.  So I just applied a patch to Cygwin.

Great! Can you already estimate when this patched version will be released?

In a parallel universe, it is already released and receiving rave reviews. ;-) In this universe, you'll have to be content with a snapshot for the time being. <http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>
