Re: dired-do-rename on "." and ".."

[Markus Rost]

   Not wanting to spend a lot of time, I wrote code that won't let most
   Dired commands operate on either . or ...

With your change you get an error when creating new subdirectories in
dired with key "+".  I couldn't spend much time on it, but I think the
following patch fixes this.


        * dired.el (dired-get-filename): Don't err for . and .. for calls
        from dired-add-entry.
