23.0.60; Wrong file/directory completion in *shell* buffers |

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
With ZSH (and maybe some option I'm not aware of) you can go up one
directory by typing ".." as a shorthand for "cd ..". Now I have this
directory tree.
foo/
foo/bar/
foo/baz/
foo/baz/one/
foo/baz/two/
I invoke `shell' and change to foo/baz/. Now I type
cd TAB
and the completion shows one/ and two/. Now I go up one directory with
"..". Another
cd TAB
shows again the completions one/ and two/, but I'm in foo/ (as `pwd'
says) now and the correct completions would be bar/ and baz/.
So it seems `default-directory' is only updated with "cd ..", but not
for the shorthand "..".
The same applies if I have an alias xxx="cd foo/bar/baz". Then
xxx RET
cd TAB
will print the completions for the directory I was before.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Closing this since the alternative method provided by dirtrack.el
handles this case.
It is impossible for shell-directory-tracker to know about non-standard
command/aliases such as using ".." to mean "cd ..".
