bug#24936: 26.0.50; tramp-mode (on FTP): tramp-file-name-for-operation: unknown file I/O primitive: file-name-case-insensitive-p

[José L. Doménech]

To reproduce it:

1. Start Emacs:
emacs -Q

2. Open a dired view of a FTP remote directory:
C-x C-f
> /ftp:anonymous@ftp.gnu.org:/

3. Over a directory (/tmp seems a goog one) press:
C

4. Select a local directory as destination.

The message "tramp-file-name-for-operation: unknown file I/O primitive:
file-name-case-insensitive-p" appears.

I think this is due to a change in the last two days on master.

This is due to commit 2809012 that I made last night.  Michael, did I 
push this too soon?  Should I have waited for you to write a handler for 
file-name-case-insensitive-p?

If so, I apologize.

Ken

I think I see the problem.  Does the attached patch fix it?

It should make Tramp quiet, yes. So you might commit it.

I'm already planning to write a proper handler for
file-name-case-insensitive-p, soon. But first I need to finish my work
on connection-local variables.

Best regards, Michael.

OK, I've pushed it and I am closing the bug.  José, please reopen if 
this doesn't fix the problem.
