bug#3761: 23.1.50; TAB file name completion skips valid entry

[Lennart Borgman]

Here we go again. There are still problem with file name completion. I
have two directories:

  ~/ecb-cvs/
  ~/ecb-cvs-old/

Doing

  C-x C-f ~/ecb TAB

gives ~/ecb-cvs-old/ which is not what I want.

Of course I started from "emacs -Q".

Yes.

> Should all file names ending in "CVS/" be ignored?

_Directories_ ending in "CVS" should be ignored.  But that's just the
default; you can customize it away.

> Why is not the hidden property on the file name in this case used
> instead? (At least on w32 the CVS directory has a hidden property.)

First, not every Windows CVS client makes them hidden.  Second, the
hidden attribute is Windows-specific, and cannot be used on other
platforms.

I'm closing the bug.
