Yeah, this is done so that
pwd
-> gives "/home/federico"
mkdir foo
mkdir foo/bar
ln -s foo/bar baz
cd baz
pwd
-> gives "baz"
cd ..
pwd
-> gives "/home/federico"
Instead of
cd ..
pwd
-> gives "foo" -> "what the hell!?"
I.e. so that changing directories across symlinks doesn't confuse the user.
See http://www.gnome.org/~federico/news-2004-08.html#10 for a comment about
this.
