I heard what you said, and I obviously disagree that it's a clear bug.
It is no more a bug than the fact that Emacs uses only forward slashes
in file-name completion in the minibuffer, even on Windows.
In other words, you are arguing for a new feature. While I'm not
opposed to having such a feature, now is not the time to introduce new
features.
New feature? I think that things work correctly is hopefully not a new
feature in Emacs ;-)
It's a new feature because it will have to be customizable. I don't
want my shell buffers auto-complete with backslashes, and I'm sure I'm
not the only one.
Can you please explain more exactly what problems you see with my patch?
It autocompletes in the shell buffer with "\" if the shell used has
w32-shell-dos-semantics. When do you not want this?
Why do you think it has to be customizable?
C:\myecvs> dir bld/emacs<RET>
dir bld/emacs
Invalid switch - "emacs".
That's a different problem, because I could type the full command
"dir foo/bar" without using auto-completion, and it would still fail.
It could be solved in cmdproxy, for example. If you have time to work
on this, please do.
There is no need to do it on that level AFAICS, but maybe I will change
my mind if you explain the problems you see with my patch a bit more in
details. You have not told me any such yet that I think are relevant.
