cygwin's git.exe successfully hides from everything??

I believe I found a repeatable bug in everything, though I could easily be convinced I don't know what I'm doing.

I am running on Win 7 64, everything installed as a service.

When I install cygwin's version of git.exe into c:\cygwin\bin, everything won't find it.

That's with regex search turned on.

I do not believe it is a hardlinked file. It seems as normal a file as any other

cygwin's ls does not show it as a link.

cygwin's find does not show it as a link.
In contrast, they do show other files in the same directory as links.

When I hexdump it with a "dos" utility, it seems like a normal file.

But everything won't find it.

If I change the extension from exe to exef, it suddenly appears. When I rename it back to an exe it stays displayed.

There's more weird stuff too.
I can delete the file using cygwin setup and dir and ls show it's gone

but now, everything shows it's still there, and that's even after an F5 refresh.

Anyway, seems odd to me.

Any change with Everything 1.4.0.713b Beta?

Not sure where the change was, but could be that 1.3 didn't handle hard links?
I also know nothing of git, so wouldn't know if in fact the files in question happen to be hard links or not?

C:\ DIR /AL [filename]
may show if the file in question is a link?
Otherwise there are various third party utilities that will enumerate links.

Thanks, and yes, the 1.4 beta does fix it.

I think my wondering if it was a hardlink was a red herring. There really is no reason for cygwin to link it. The files it links are things like awk, for gawk, emacs for a generic name for various actual emacsen, like emacs-nox, emacs-w32, ...

Anyway, thanks again!
