Written by David MacKenzie. I suggest that 'rmdir foo/.' should be equivalent to 'rmdir foo'. Strangely, 'rmdir foo/..' does work as expected (that is, it fails with 'Directory not empty'). Note that Emacs command completion (in shell-mode) will complete foo to foo/. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com>
