The default auto-save-file-name-transforms does not work.

The default auto-save-file-name-transforms does not work.

[Nikolay Kudryavtsev]

The default value for auto-save-file-name-transforms is supposed to move 
auto-save files for tramp buffers to the local machine's temp folder. 
This does not seem to work anymore.

As far as I was able to tell, the regexp is valid. One more thing, I 
noticed is that tramp files get "_a" as their directory delimiter during 
autosaving, as opposed to "|", like normal files, it may be connected.

I've tested 24.4 and 24.5 on both windows and linux.

To repeat - emacs -Q, open some text file over tramp, edit it a little 
bit so the autosave would appear. And it appears in the same folder as 
the file is located.

There was a problem, indeed. It's fixed in Tramp 2.2.12, released two
weeks ago.

This is also merged into the Emacs repository, containing the
development version 25.0.50.

Best regards, Michael.

It's part of the fix. There were also further commits related to this,
at least

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/tramp.git/commit/?id=7ac5eed2a9b4e24c7b1f74981c8dea01d9def3e7

I cannot guarantee there's no other related fix, this would require code
reading. It might be safer to install Tramp 2.2.12.

Best regards, Michael.
