This problem came up for Libidn but it seems to be a problem with the
update-copyright self check, it fails under Cygwin.

Any ideas where the *.bak files come from?  I can't find anything in
test-update-copyright.sh that creates them, so I suspect that
Cygwin/Windows somehow creates backup files for some reason?  Is there
any way to disable that?  Any other ideas?

Meanwhile, I'm disabling this self-test in Libidn since it doesn't
affect the stability of the rest of the package.  Generally, this
self-tests seems to be in a somewhat different class than usual
self-tests, more like a maintainer-check thing?
