hitting home directory's parent

Hi:

I just installed git in my Cygwin installation for the first time.  The 
git version is 1.6.1.2, which is the latest version they have.  When I 
enter one of the following commands:
    git --help
    git config --global user.name "Daniel Convissor"

I get this error:
    fatal: Cannot change to /home/danielc/..: Permission denied

Though "git --version" executes fine.

I've been using Cygwin for many years and no other program has ever 
produced this issue for me.  For example, svn --help, ls --help, etc work 
just fine.

Why is git venturing into to the home directory's parent directory?  Is 
this a bug?  If not, is this really necessary?

Thanks,

--Dan
