It's a valid OS path. The unfortunate side effect of its virtuality is
that it's not listed in a readdir call, so file completion doesn't work.
However, there's a funny workaround. Just start an elevated bash:
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Windows
$ export CYGWIN=winsymlinks
$ ln -s temp-file-name sysnative
$ cmd /c ren temp-file-file.lnk sysnative.lnk
s/temp-file-file/temp-file-name/
Thanks, this works nicely.
A minor nit with the commands, the ln directories should be switched
around, otherwise temp-file-name.lnk gets placed in sysnative as I've
found out.
