Just in case people are not sure why the above might be true:

If /path/dir is be a symlink to /bigstorage/path/dir, then /path/dir/..
is actually /bigstorage/path and not /path.

The shell should remember how you got to a particular spot in the
directory tree, but any children that are spawned from the shell might not.
