Git-bash: cannot cd to My Documents

I'm using git-bash on Windows 7 and it seems to work fine except that I cannot go to "My Documents". I found a slightly related question here, but it is in fact not my problem.

I tried to describe my problem in the screenshot below:

Any help would be nice.

There is no "Documents" folder in your profile directory. I don't think Explorer updates the "My Documents" compatibility junction when the target is relocated. Right-click the Documents folder in Explorer, open the properties dialog, and click on the Location tab to see its real location on disk. You can create a new junction using mklink /j junction target.
