Look at the syntax. It's horrible to parse, expecially when you want to
complete (like in ido-mode). Do you know exactly whether a substring is
meant as method, user name or host name? I don't.

One proposal was to require always a method name in case of multihops. I
don't know whether this will make things better.

Yeah, I think being explicit would be exactly what's needed.

Yes please, but proper ad-hoc, allowing specification of the transit
user, remote host and remote user all in one path. If there's anything
I can do to make that happen more quickly, please let me know...

I have no real idea how to achieve this, sorry. If you come with a
working solution you're welcome!

/user|remoteuser@remotehost:/

Why not to go the other direction, and make ido aware of proxy hosts?

Not sure what you mean by that, can you give an example?

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/tramp/ChangeLog?root=tramp&view=markup
the correct change log to be looking at? I hope not, since it doesn't
mention either proxies arriving or multi: going away...

For the Lisp code, you shall use
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/tramp/lisp/ChangeLog?root=tramp&view=markup

Okay, what's the other ChangeLog?

There are 3 ChangeLogs. "viewvc/tramp/ChangeLog" is for overall
makefiles and configuration scripts. "viewvc/tramp/lisp/ChangeLog" is
for the real Lisp code. And  "viewvc/tramp/texi/ChangeLog" is for the
documentation.

Thanks for the explanation :-)

cheers,

Chris

PS: How come still CVS as opposed to SVN or, better yet, Git?
