[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

While testing the new eshell module 'eshell-elecslash' I found a bug
when the default-directory is the root of a remote host. To reproduce
the problem type the following in a eshell buffer (replacing "method"
and "host" by appropriate values):

$ cd /method:host:/
$ cd / <--- here the "/" should be replaced by "/method:host:/" but
instead nothing happen

I've attached a patch to this email which fixes this issue.

Jim, are you looking into this issue?

Thanks.

Thanks. I missed the original message. The patch looks good to me, 
although it compiles with the following warning:

  In eshell-electric-forward-slash:
  ../../lisp/eshell/em-elecslash.el:98:18: Warning: Unused lexical 
variable `localname'

Looking through the code, I think we can just remove that variable.

Since this is a small change, and fixes a corner case in a new feature, 
I think it would make sense to go on the release branch, though I'll 
defer to you on this, Eli. The fact that the new code (with the removal 
of 'localname') is a bit simpler helps too.

Yes, the release branch is fine for this.  Especially since this
module is AFAIU new in Emacs 29.

Thanks.

Thanks for looking into this. I've attached to this email a new patch
which fixes the compilation warning.

Thanks. This looks good to me now.

Eli, should I merge this to the release branch then? (I'm not sure about 
copyright assignment paperwork and such here.)

Yes, please.  But don't forget the Copyright-paperwork-exempt thingy
in the log message.

Ok, merged to emacs-29 as 777b383dd0f61488ba4e43756cf43521f994f906.

Thanks again for the bug report/patch. Closing this bug now.
