23.1.50; TAB file name completion skips valid entry |
Date: |
Sun, 5 Jul 2009 23:13:40 +0200 |
Here we go again. There are still problem with file name completion. I
have two directories:
~/ecb-cvs/
~/ecb-cvs-old/
Doing
C-x C-f ~/ecb TAB
gives ~/ecb-cvs-old/ which is not what I want.
Of course I started from "emacs -Q".
In GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-06-30
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --no-opt --cflags
-Ic:/g/include -fno-crossjumping'

Yes.

_Directories_ ending in "CVS" should be ignored. But that's just the
default; you can customize it away.

First, not every Windows CVS client makes them hidden. Second, the
hidden attribute is Windows-specific, and cannot be used on other
platforms.
I'm closing the bug.
