>From inside of ~/src/myprojects I did a:
mv -- --1.2 ~/tla--escapes--1.2
where "--1.2" was a directory in ~/src/myprojects. This did not move
~/src/myprojects/--1.2 to ~/src/tla--escapes--1.2. What it did do was move
it to /cygdrive/c/tla--escapes--1.2. Here are the pertinent paths:
/ is a binary system mount of C:\cygwin
/c is a binary system mount of C:\
/home is a binary system mount of C:\home
~ is
/home/rdparker
~/src is a directory, /home/rdparker/src
~/src/myprojects is a symlink to /c/MyProjects
The symlink is just intended to graft my Windows source into my preferred
~/src working location for use with reasonable tools.
It appears that when mv did a ".." from ~/src/myprojects, it actually did a
.. from /c/MyProjects not from ~/src/myprojects. Is this the expected
behavior? I don't have a *nix system handy to check out how .. works with
symlinked directories. I left my laptop at home today and my wife shut off
my ssh box at home because the fan was scaring her rabbit. (Hmm... how do
small pets respond to contact with an Athlon? I smell hasenpfeffer. Sorry
PETA, it's been a _long_ day.)
