You're right, it shouldn't. This was a bug I introduced in 2004 and I
think you're the first to report it (!). In my defense, it wasn't
officially a bug until POSIX.1-2008 came out and specified that -a
$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ \ls -fA
. ..
$
I rather expected this output to be empty. -f enables -a, fine, but it
seems like the -A should override the -a, since it's specified after?
I guess it has nothing to do with -f in particular.
\ls -aA also shows . and ..; maybe it shouldn't?
Not sure,
hello people.
I once wrote some improvement proposals to the list.
