Subject: On DOS/Windows, unnecessary load of tramp by `file-relative-name'
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 12:54:05 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21141901.1051181645426.JavaMail.www@wwinf0602> (raw)

Hi All,

Since the following change to files.el:

2003-03-29  Kai Großjohann  <kai.grossjohann@gmx.net>

        * files.el (file-relative-name): If FILENAME and DIRECTORY are
        on different drives (on DOS/Windows) or use different
        handlers, do like `expand-file-name' on FILENAME and return an
        absolute name.
        From Lars Hansen <larsh@math.ku.dk>.

I noticed that each time `file-relative-name' is called, tramp.el is
auto loaded, even if I don't access to remote files.

After some investigation, I found that `file-relative-name' put a
leading slash on file and directory names before comparing them to
find the relative name.  On DOS/Windows, when the name begins with a
drive letter, for example "c:/emacs", `file-relative-name' actually
use this form internally: "/c:/emacs".  Unfortunately that form
matches `tramp-file-name-regexp', which causes "tramp.el" to be loaded
when `file-relative-name' then calls `file-name-as-directory'.

To fix that, I propose the following patch to files.el:

Maybe is there a better way to fix that?
What do you think?

David
