I like the idea of adding an optional parameter to delete-directory. Is there any existing code that may be using the error-check in copy-file to ensure that the first arg is not a directory? I like the idea of making the existing copy-file smart enough to "do the right thing" when the first argument is a dir, but it could need an optional RECURSIVE parameter if and only if other callers rely on it rejecting directories. -y _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
