Hi,
It seems that cygwin cannot follow the Windows native symlink correctly.
set CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict
Steps to re-produce:
1. echo test > test.txt
2. mkdir dest
3. cd dest
4. ln -s ../test.txt test.txt
5. cd ..
6. mkdir src
7. cd src
8. ln -s ../dest dest
9. cd ..
10. cat src/dest/test.txt
cat cannot find the file of "test.txt".
The directory structure:
.
├─test.txt
├─dest/
└─test
└─src/
└─dest/
If I set CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk, all works fine for the above steps.
This is a simplified case of a problem when using repo/git.

Best regards.
