Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
if you have a folder tree like this:

f1
\--- f2
|     \ ---> f4
|
\--- f3 = symlink to f4

and you go into f3 and move or copy a file to the parent directory like this
mv myfile ..

myfile is moved into f2, not in f1.
it this behaviour correct?

i know that ".." refers to the physical parent directory, but for example
with "cd .." the behaviour is different, maybe because bash interprets
".." before
passing it to "cd".

so i think that, event one of these behaviours is correct, the whole
behaviour is not consisting.

bye.
