[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
tags 2807 patch
quit


I did some debugging, and while internally etags.el knows how to handle
compressed files, it doesn't pass good enough information to external
tools like fileloop (Bug#2807) and xref (Bug#44494).

I attach a patch to fix both bugs, Bug#2807 and Bug#44494.  It reuses
tags-compression-info-list to pass the correct filename to the tools
mentioned.
