Re: ln -- is there a way to get the old behavior back? (ENV var?)


Is there a way to get back the previous 'ln' behavior and have
it create a NTFS hard link?  The new behavior -- having it create
a hardlink that works only in cygwin is less than useful to me, since
I use cygwin to maintain windows.

Is there an environment variable for this?

I believe this also makes it less compatible with the windows posix subsystem -- which is not exactly apropos to me, but may be for those
needing posix compatibility across subsystems...


simply having the env var might be easiest -- if it is there.
