Cannot create a native symlink in not current directory

ln -s x y Everything works. ln -s x ../y ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘../y’: No such file or directory Now it is interesting. WHAT IS THIS. Am I not getting something? Same command works perfectly with non-native links. CYGWIN_NT-6.1 USER 2.0.1(0.287/5/3) 2015-04-30 18:15 x86_64
