OK, thanks, so can we now agree that there is globbing performed by one of the tools we use? So the question is: does this globbing understand some notion of "hidden" file (whether it obeys the "first dot" convention, of the hidden-flag convention or any other). >> So is there some way to keep .dir-local.el from appearing >> in the expansion of %f/*.el, or otherwise to use some other way to list >> the files that will exclude the .dir-locals.el file? > There's nothing special in files that begin with a dot, as far as > Windows shells or "globbing" is concerned.

Whether there is something we can do to this file such that the globbing will not include this file. Stefan
