Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have a question about how ls on cygwin displays a symlink pointing to the current directory. When I do the following: # cd ~ # ln -s here . # ls -l here lrwxrwxrwx 1 gene.sally mkgroup 1 Jun 21 16:51 here -> I'm expecting the dereference to the symlink to display here -> . as this is the behavior on Linux. On cygwin, it appears that the "." does not display in the directory listing; however, the symlink works as expected, so this appears to me a cosmetic error. Is this the expected behavior for ls in cygwin for this type of symlink? Thanks, gene
