Description Gerald Teschl 2001-04-18 11:29:51 EDT

If I cd into a directory which is a symlink, bash2 (pwd,tab completion)
will predent that
my current wd is the symlink, but for all other command its the real
direcory. This is extremely
confusing!

It's not a bug, it's a setting - if you don't like it, "set -o physical" in 
your .bashrc.
