When finding files with ido, let's say with this directory structure:
- /tmp
- /tmp/folders
- /tmp/folders/a2
- /tmp/folders/a.git
Navigating to `folders` will only display `a2` as a possible completion,
omitting `a.git`. One has to explicitly add the '.git' suffix to get the
candidate one is looking for.

It may be relevant that completion-ignored-extensions contains ".git/".

Oh, I thought a.git was a file, not a directory. But now I see that
there's nothing in the report to that effect. If it is a directory,
then this is intended behavior.

Why? Is there a way to disable it? I work on two project with similar prefixes, and this is very annoying—

Emacs should only ignore ".git" directories.
It should not ignore "foo.git" directories.

Then completion-ignored-extensions is not the right mechanism for
ignoring those directories.
(I'm quite sure that this was discussed in some distant past, just not
about Git.)

Sure it was, and it was literally the exact same problem three years
ago, but it suffered from the emacs-devel disease (talked about, but
nothing ever happened, AFAIK):

In the short term, maybe it would be better if .git etc were removed
from completion-ignored-extensions.

This was eight years ago, which is probably still short term in Emacs
years.
Anyway, this problem is still present in Emacs 29. To reproduce:
mkdir /tmp/dir
mkdir /tmp/dir/a.git
mkdir /tmp/dir/aCVS
mkdir /tmp/dir/b
mkdir /tmp/dir/c
emacs -Q /tmp/dir
M-x ido-mode
C-x C-f
Notice that it only completes to b and c, and a.git and aCVS are
excluded. This is because:
completion-ignored-extensions
=>
(".o" "~" ".bin" ".lbin" ".so" ".a" ".ln" ".blg" ".bbl" ".elc" ".lof" ".glo" ".idx" ".lot" ".svn/" ".hg/" ".git/" ".bzr/" "CVS/" "_darcs/" "_MTN/" ".fmt" ".tfm" ".class" ".fas" ".lib" ".mem" ".x86f" ".sparcf" ".dfsl" ".pfsl" ".d64fsl" ".p64fsl" ".lx64fsl" ".lx32fsl" ".dx64fsl" ".dx32fsl" ".fx64fsl" ".fx32fsl" ".sx64fsl" ".sx32fsl" ".wx64fsl" ".wx32fsl" ".fasl" ".ufsl" ".fsl" ".dxl" ".lo" ".la" ".gmo" ".mo" ".toc" ".aux" ".cp" ".fn" ".ky" ".pg" ".tp" ".vr" ".cps" ".fns" ".kys" ".pgs" ".tps" ".vrs" ".pyc" ".pyo")
So we're using this mechanism to try to exclude directories named "CVS",
which end up excluding directories called "aCVS".
I think perhaps of introducing a regexp-based extra mechanism here that
we should introduce a new completion-ignored-files variable, which would
default to '(".svn/" ".hg/" ".git/" ".bzr/" "CVS/" "_darcs/" "_MTN/")
(probably), and then remove those from -extensions.
However, this will require a lot of work --
completion-ignored-extensions is used many places (and it's commonly
used as a regexp), so it may require rewriting a whole bunch of stuff.
And it'll be slightly non-backwards-compatible if a user has removed
"CVS/" from the old variable, and then it reappears in the new one.
But it sounds worth doing, I think.
Anybody have any opinions?

BTW, maybe we can merge the two propositions:
Allow the use in `completion-ignored-files` of entries of the form
"/<RE>" where <RE> will be matched against the nondirectory part of the
file name. We'd probably want to make this match anchored, since that's
what the "/" suggests. It means that instead of "/.git/" we'd add
"/\\.git/" or "/\\.git/?\\'".
This should make the change much less invasive, with most existing uses
of `completion-ignored-files` unaffected.

(I'm not following this thread.)
It sounds like `completion-ignored-extensions'
is maybe being misused somewhere (?).
Maybe `vc-directory-exclusion-list' is relevant
for what you're wanting?
Its value is
("SCCS" "RCS" "CVS" "MCVS" ".src" ".svn" ".git"
".hg" ".bzr" "_MTN" "_darcs" "{arch}")
Documentation:
List of directory names to be ignored when walking directory trees.
You can customize this variable.

It's used as a regexp? So all of the entries
".<something>" match any non-newline char
before what <something> matches, instead of a
literal dot there?
Where do you see it used as a regexp?

Most existing uses where?
If you change the meaning/behavior of
`completion-ignored-files' you'll undoubtedly
break existing code somewhere. Till now, the
extensions have been literal extensions.
If something else is needed to handle directory
names (and not even the extensions of dir names
that have extensions), then add/invent that.
Why change the use/meaning of
`completion-ignored-extensions?

I haven't looked at the various code snippets that use the resulting
regexps, but I imagine that some are matching on the full file name and
some aren't?
But do you mean that completion-ignored-files should be on the form
(... "/CV[A-S]/" ...)?

If we want this to work against both full file names and nondirectory
parts, it'd be... er...
"\\(?:\\`\\|/\\)\\.git/?\\'"
I guess.
Which nobody is going to get right, so I wonder whether it should just
be a list of strings instead of a list of regexps.

I guess I should start poking at this and see how it works out in
practice. Skimming the places where it's used, I think it's about a
dozen locations that needs adjusting. But I may be overestimating.

I think the important case only has the nondirectory part of the file
name at hand, which is why I propose for "/<RE>" to be defined as
matching only on that part (with a terminating / if it's a directory).

If we want to ignore .../CVA/, .../CVB/, etc yes.

No, the "/" would look like it's matching the / of a full file name, but
it would really be just a marker to indicate that the rest is a regexp
(and where it's anchored) and the matching code would extract the regexp
from it (and replace it with the equivalent of \\(?:\\`\\|/\\) as
needed).

Oh, so this wouldn't be a plain regexp, but a ... mini-language where
"/" has a special meaning? I think that sounds pretty confusing.

Hm. I think it'd a more straightforward interface to just keep regexps
out of it all, but I see the attraction of having a regexp interface,
too.

By the way, it'd be nice to have a zero-width regexp matcher for "start
of file name component" (i.e., match after "/" or at the start of the
string). We don't have that already anywhere, by any chance?

Regular expressions don't understand file names, they are just strings
as far as regexps are concerned.

Of course they're strings, but a regexp operator has semantics.

Yup.

It's not great, indeed. But, AFAICT something like that is the only way
to introduce regexps into `completion-ignored-extensions` without having
to touch too much of the code using that variable.

There are several file name patterns I've wanted to ignore but couldn't
because enumerating them all is somewhere between inconvenient
and impossible (whereas a regexp would cover them easily).

I thought you were asking about some builtin feature of regexp
matches, and tried to explain why that doesn't exist.
If you are talking about something we should concoct, then I don't
think I see a problem expressing "match after / or at the start of the
string" in the regexp notation. So why were you asking about it?

Please don't introduce regexps into
`completion-ignored-extensions'. This option
is designed to match file extensions literally.
And that's how it's used. If you alternatively,
or also, need regexp matching, then add another
variable for that.
Lars claimed this:
completion-ignored-extensions is used many
places (and it's commonly used as a regexp)
No evidence given for that claim. I asked for
examples of such "common" use. None have been
cited. Are there even _any_?

I was asking whether we had it, because \\(:?\\`\\|/\\) is a handful to
type.

I wonder whether it would be easier to add two new variables, but
perhaps that's excessive.
That is, completion-ignored-extensions as before, and
completion-ignored-files (a list of strings) and
completion-ignored-regexp (a regexp or a list of regexps). The
advantage is that the semantics on all three variables would be pretty
self evident, and would require no special syntax anywhere.

[ Not sure I'd bother with the non-regexp variable (other than having to
use \\. to match a dot, a regexp should work just as well). ]
This is the best way long term, yes. We could mark
`completion-ignored-extensions` as obsolete and in a few years we're
back with a clean semantics and a simple variable.

Well, the semantics for completion-ignored-files would be that they
match on file names (i.e., the part after the last "/" if there's any
slashes in there), which sounds like a pretty attractive thing, while
completion-ignored-files would have no anchoring.
completion-ignored-files could be regexps with anchoring, too, but then
we'd have two regexp variables, which seems excessive again. :-/

I like completion-ignored-extensions -- it's clear what it does and easy
to alter both programmatically and for users.
