Yes, because this is following the "physical" structure of your dirs. > Is this acceptable behavior or a kind of reversed-engineered bug > ported in all the *nix systems? ;-) Or, you just held the tool wrong and it failed for you because you did it wrong. Your first example would have to be: $ pwd /tmp/repo/source/Public/static/js $ cd ../../../../repo/source/Public/ in order to work. It might help in the future to look at differences between /bin/pwd output and the shells builtin output of "pwd", when moving around softlinked dirs, it can help that /bin/pwd often prints the "true path" of where you are because it doesn't care which links you went over, and the shell pwd shows the "way you got there" which may or may not include softlinks to dirs. $ pwd /tmp/repo/source/Public/static/js $ /bin/pwd /tmp/source_folder/Public/static/js -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
