	TAB-completion of file names does not convert \ to / on MS-Windows

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

 emacs -Q
 C-x C-f TAB

On the emacs-24 branch, pressing TAB converts all backslashes into
forward slashes.  But on the trunk, the backslashes stay, so what I see
is (the ugly) "D:\gnu\bzr\emacs\trunk\src/".  Why was this behavior
changed?

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
d:/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/etc/DEBUG.

Hi Eli,

Just to follow up on this 7 year old bug report, which never got a reply
at the time.  Is this still an issue?

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

No, it was fixed long ago.  Closing.
