bug#51310: 29.0.50; Tramp: C-u s to change -al to -l not working

[Jean Louis]

I would like to change Dired settings -al to -l within Tramp ad hoc,
during the session, but that is not accepted.

I've tested with a recent built of the master branch, and it works as
expected. Have you taken the recent Tramp? Try with "emacs -Q".

Best regards, Michael.

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.

I have tried now, and it does not work.

Example of my Tramp bookmarks are:

    LineageOS Images on SD card                              /scp:motorolausb:/storage/39E0-14F8/Android/data/org.lineageos.snap/files/
    LineageOS USB                              /scp:motorolausb:/storage/emulated/0/

And I connect to ssh server, so when I do: C-u s and try changing to
-l only, I cannot see it working.

I've tested it again, it works in my environment. Could you please try
the following:

- Start from a shell

  # emacs -Q --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 6)' /scp:motorolausb:

- You'll see a dired listing in Emacs. Type now 'C-u 0 s', and change
  the ls switches from '-al' to '-l'.

- In the dired listing, all files starting with a dot '.' should
  disappear.

- If this doesn't work, please send the buffer *debug tramp/scp motorolausb*

Best regards, Michael.

Ping. Please provide the needed information. Otherwise, we must close
