[bug] fileutils: ln --target-directory with just one target fails - cygcheck-svr.out [1/1]


$ ls -l dir1
$ ln -fs --target-directory=dir1 ../test.txt
ln: `dir1/.': cannot overwrite directory
$ ls -l dir1
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 ASchulma None           11 Oct 14 16:42 test.txt -> 
../test.txt

What seems to happen here is that when ln --target-directory is given 
only one target file (here test.txt), it works on the first one, then 
'sees' . as a second target.

Who is the Cygwin maintainer of fileutils?  I can't find any Cygwin doc 
files for it.  Should I submit this bug upstream?

Andrew.
