I'm not sure if this is really a bug or not...
I have a symlink in my homedir, ~/AFS --> /afs/athena/user/v/vanharen
If I "cd" to ~/AFS/.. I end up in /afs/athena/user/v, which is to be
expected from the shell.
However, if I do a "find-file" in emacs (C-X C-F) and enter ~/AFS/../
and then hit SPACEBAR to complete, it gives me the completions for ~/
instead of following the link down and then up one dir. It would appear
that emacs simply sees the ".." as "remove the last part of the path
from the path"...
I think that it should work the same way that the shell does, following
the link down, and then up one dir...
I have no idea how hard this would be to fix...
Thanks,
Chris VanHaren
