When I use Bash to do file name completion (using Tab) on a DIRECTORY that is a symlink I do not get the trailing slash '/'. If it's a real directory, the TAB results in the completion of the directory name with an appended slash. If it's a symlink, I get the directory name but NO slash. This is the part of my mount table that may be of interest: c:\program files on /PF type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /c type system (binmode) d: on /d type system (binmode,noumount) cd /c c> ls -ald Sources Public drwxr-xr-x+ 4 lrwilso mkgroup 4096 Aug 13 11:28 public/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 lrwilso mkgroup 100 Aug 13 09:52 Sources -> /d/Sources ls pub yields "ls public/" ls Sou yields "ls Sources" any insight?
