Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:57:37 +0200

This happen with Emacs 22.3.1 from
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-22.3-bin-i386.zip

With 23.1 http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/ such error not
occured. On Emacs 21.4 function read-file-name not defined.

STEP #1.

  > cd test
  > mkdir dir-1xxx dir-1yyy .svn
  > edit bug.el  --- I put here:

(read-file-name "Enter file" default-directory default-directory t nil 
'file-directory-p)
(partial-completion-mode t)

  > runemacs --no-init-file --no-site-file --debug-init

STEP #2.
Next C-x C-f d:/tmp/test/bug.el RET,
execute read-file-name by C-x C-e, in prompt just type RET, got 
"d:/tmp/test/" - OK.

STEP #3.
execute (partial-completion-mode t)
and repeat executing (read-file-name  ...), got "d:/tmp/test/dir-1" - ERROR.

If do not create .svn dir (which in list completion-ignored-extensions)
on step #1 we got correct value on step #3.
Also correct work if remove ".svn" from completion-ignored-extensions
and partial-completion-mode enabled.

I'm afraid we're not planning to make any more releases of Emacs 22.x.
Since this is fixed in 23.1, I'll go ahead and close this bug.  Thanks
for reporting it.
