Re: file-relative-name and remote files

[Richard Stallman]

I see that (expand-file-name "/address@hidden:/../emacs")
returns "/address@hidden:/../emacs".  That is surprising;
I expected it to return "/emacs".

It would probably be easy to change this, and that change would
probably fix the whole problem.  But was this done intentionally?
Does it serve a specific purpose?

If we don't change this behavior, then we do need to change
file-relative-name.
