scenario: you have a directory (/scratch2/rfn-bug) that contains some number of files, and one sub-directory (/scratch2/rfn-bug/frog).
You are prompted for a file name via 'read-file-name, you enter "/scratch2/rfn-bug" and that is properly returned, you enter "/scratch2/rfn-bug/" and what is returned is "/scratch2/rfn-bug/frog"
To reproduce:
in a shell:
mkdir /scratch2/rfn-bug
touch /scratch2/rfn-bug/a
touch /scratch2/rfn-bug/b
mkdir /scratch2/rfn-bug/frog
Run emacs, and then evaluate:
(setq read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t)
(require 'complete)
(partial-completion-mode t)
(read-file-name prompt dir dir 'must-match nil 'file-directory-p)
When you enter "/scratch2/rfn-bug", you'll get back "/scratch2/rfn-bug"
When you enter "/scratch2/rfn-bug/", you'll get back "/scratch2/rfn-bug/frog"
If read-file-name-completion-ignore-case is nil, this problem does not happen.
If there are more than one subdirectory, this problem does not happen.
If the single subdirectory is a link, you get the same behavior.
Running on linux (as seen below).
I built this version of Emacs myself, but did nothing custom, just the
standard ./configure, gmake, gmake install. This bug was reproduced running
emacs w/out an initialization file.
thanks,
TJ

I've checked in a fix into CVS. Thanks for the bug report.
