Change in logical link behaviour

[Rainer Emrich]

I try to reliably determine if native Windows symlink are working for a
current cygwin environment in a shell script.

Therefor I used a powershell snipped:

mkdir asdfgh
ln -s asdfgh/ asdfgh-1
powershell "& {Get-Item -Path asdfgh-1 | Select-Object}"

On cygwin 3.0.7 the output is as follows:


    Directory: D:\cygwin\home\rainer\temp


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
d----l       29.02.2020     13:58                asdfgh-1

On cygwin 3.1.4 I get:


    Directory: D:\cygwin\home\rainer\temp


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
d----        29.02.2020     13:58                asdfgh-1

So now there is no indication that this is a link. Is this new behaviour
intended or a bug?

I did not try on Windows 10, I'm still on windows 7.
