bug#68320: 30.0.50; filename completion with tramp fails on Windows

[Kazuhiro Ito]

1. Start Emacs that is placed in D: drive.
2. Evaluate (require 'tramp) to load tramp.el.
3. Type C-x C-f c : / TAB TAB

Completion for c:/ should be listed, but it seems that completions for
d:/ are showed.

I can reproduce this by starting Emacs placed in an H: drive and then
attempting to complete starting from C-x C-f c:/p <TAB> which should
offer me a folder called "projects" however the completion candidates
appear to be from my HOME directory (set by Environment Variable
before starting Emacs).

FTR, I can also reproduce the problem. Will check next days whether I
could fix the problem. (Testing on MS Windows is always a burden to me.)

Best regards, Michael.

I've fixed this in the master branch. Could you, pls, give it some
testing. Since I don't use MS Windows regularly, I could try only some
few tests.

Best regards, Michael.

I will kick-off a MSYS2/MINGW64 build from the development branch
shortly and report back; thanks for looking into this so quickly!

I can no longer reproduce as of cd0eb055fd4ebc3f7f7f5f5617549f963fe8ecff

Here is a set of Windows x64 binaries created from that revision:

Thanks for the feedback. Taking also into account the feedback from Eli,
I assume the problem is fixed. Closing the bug.

Best regards, Michael.

Thanks for the feedback. My concern is rather that there could be a
regression in completion of remote file names on MS Windows. However, my
few test didn't show such bad.

Let's observe for the next couple of days whether people report problems.

Best regards, Michael.

Completion of remote filenames works as normal for me from HEAD.  (It
worked as well before, so I think there is not a regression here
speaking from my own C-f C-x /pscp:...  based use-case.)
