Hi,

Please consider the following Cygwin session:

$ cd ~
$ pwd
/home/user
$ touch file
$ ls file
file
$ cygpath -w ~
C:\cygwin64\home\user
$ mkdir /cygdrive/g/cygwin/dir
$ ln -s /cygdrive/g/cygwin/dir ./dir
$ ls -l dir
... dir -> /cygdrive/g/cygwin/dir/
$ cd dir
$ pwd
/home/user/dir
$ cygpath -w `pwd`
G:\cygwin\dir
$ ls -l ../fil<TAB>  (this expands to ../file but when Enter is hit):
ls: cannot access '../file': No such file or directory

so basically "file" is not accessible with the relative dot-dot link,
even though somehow readline (bash completion) can figure it out and suggest
the correct completion.

Is this a Cygwin bug?

I'm using:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 XXXXX 3.2.0(0.340/5/3) 2021-03-29 08:42 x86_64 Cygwin

Cheers,
