Sync with version 2.0.20. Lengthy ChangeLog follows: 2002-09-22 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> Version 2.0.20 released. 2002-09-20 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-function-alist): Escape open paren in docstring. (tramp-user-regexp, tramp-host-regexp): Allow empty strings. (tramp-handle-insert-file-contents): Call tramp-message-for-buffer instead of tramp-message. (tramp-open-connection-rsh): Handle empty string as user name. (tramp-open-connection-su): Handle empty string as host name. Handle nil user name. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region) (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions) (tramp-open-connection-telnet, tramp-open-connection-rsh) (tramp-open-connection-su, tramp-post-connection) (tramp-maybe-open-connection, tramp-method-out-of-band-p) (tramp-get-connection-function, tramp-get-remote-sh) (tramp-get-rsh-program, tramp-get-rsh-args) (tramp-get-rcp-program, tramp-get-rcp-args) (tramp-get-rcp-keep-date-arg, tramp-get-su-program) (tramp-get-su-args, tramp-get-telnet-program) (tramp-get-telnet-args): Use `tramp-find-method', perhaps require additional args USER, HOST. (tramp-action-password, tramp-open-connection-telnet) (tramp-open-connection-su, tramp-open-connection-multi) (tramp-method-out-of-band-p): `tramp-method-out-of-band-p' now takes USER and HOST arguments, to be able to use `tramp-find-method'. Update callers. (tramp-find-method): New function. 2002-09-20 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-insert-directory): Handle "--dired" in SWITCHES (by removing it). 2002-09-18 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-file-name-handler): Add `file-remote-p' property. 2002-09-17 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (top-level): Maybe autoload uudecode-decode-region. 2002-09-16 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-bug): Add tramp-methods. 2002-09-16 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-methods): Update docstring: tramp-encoding-command, tramp-decoding-command, tramp-encoding-function and tramp-decoding-function are not parameters anymore. (tramp-uuencode-region): Autoload it. 2002-09-13 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> Version 2.0.19 released. * net/tramp-uu.el: New file, implements uuencode in Lisp. * net/tramp.el (tramp-coding-commands): Use `tramp-uuencode-region' as local encoder for the uuencode based entries. 2002-09-13 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-write-region): Wrong parens. 2002-09-13 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> Version 2.0.18 released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-perl-decode): Perl changes to accomodate older versions of Perl. Now tested with 5.004. Suggestion from Michael Albinus. 2002-09-12 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-find-inline-encoding): Call tramp-call-local-coding-command with nil for INPUT and OUTPUT. (tramp-call-local-coding-command): OUTPUT equals nil means to discard the output. INPUT equals nil means /dev/null. 2002-09-12 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-encoding-shell): Default to environment variable COMSPEC on Windows. (tramp-handle-write-region): More debugging output. (tramp-find-inline-encoding): Ditto. 2002-09-11 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Define `result1'. (tramp-parse-hosts-group): Discard IPv6 entries. 2002-09-11 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-post-connection): Only send Perl mime-encode/decode implementations when using inline method. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy) (tramp-handle-write-region, tramp-post-connection) (tramp-coding-commands, tramp-find-inline-encoding): For the inline encodings, distinguish between local and remote commands, instead of between commands and functions. (The local commands can be functions, too.) If the local host is a Windows machine, we can't expect the same commands to work there as on the remote host. (tramp-call-local-coding-command): New function for calling local encoding and decoding commands. (tramp-set-remote-encoding, tramp-get-remote-encoding) (tramp-set-remote-decoding, tramp-get-remote-decoding) (tramp-set-local-encoding, tramp-get-local-encoding) (tramp-set-local-decoding, tramp-get-local-decoding): New functions. (tramp-get-encoding-command, tramp-set-encoding-command) (tramp-get-decoding-command, tramp-set-decoding-command) (tramp-get-encoding-function, tramp-set-encoding-function) (tramp-get-decoding-function, tramp-set-decoding-function): Old functions, removed. 2002-09-10 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Change command to invoke /bin/sh slightly to make it compatible with the `rc' shell. Suggested by Daniel Pittman. 2002-09-10 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-write-region): Added missing `)'. Hope it's the right place. 2002-09-09 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Do "exec env PS1='$ ' /bin/sh" instead of just "exec /bin/sh" in order to get a sane shell prompt. If people have ${CWD}, say, in their shell prompt, then the default login shell might display something harmless, but the /bin/sh will display a dollar sign which confused the subsequent prompt recognition. (tramp-multi-action-password): More debugging output. (tramp-encoding-shell): Renamed from tramp-sh-program. More documentation. Default to cmd.exe on Windows NT. (tramp-encoding-command-switch): New variable. Use instead of hard-wired "-c" which is only good for /bin/sh. (tramp-encoding-reads-stdin): New variable. If t, commands are called like "/bin/sh -c COMMAND <INPUT", if nil, they are called like "/bin/sh -c COMMAND INPUT", ie the input file is the last argument. (tramp-multi-sh-program): Always default to tramp-encoding-shell. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region): Respect tramp-encoding-shell and friends. (tramp-find-inline-encoding): Use new-style calls for checking if the local commands work. 2002-09-07 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-methods): Remove `tramp-completion-function' entries. They are handled now by `tramp-completion-function-alist'. (tramp-completion-function): Defvar removed. I've never used it. Hmm. (tramp-get-completion-function) (tramp-get-completion-rsh, tramp-get-completion-ssh) (tramp-get-completion-telnet, tramp-get-completion-su): Functions removed as well. Not necessary any longer due to extended customization means. (tramp-completion-function-alist): New defcustom. Holds all FUNCTION FILE pairs used for user and host name completion relevant for METHOD. (tramp-completion-function-alist-rsh) (tramp-completion-function-alist-ssh) (tramp-completion-function-alist-telnet) (tramp-completion-function-alist-su): Defconst for initializing `tramp-completion-function-alist'. Unfortunately, mainly UNIX-like values are known for me until now. Needs to be completed for at least VMS++ like operating systems. (tramp-set-completion-function) (tramp-get-completion-function): New functions for configuration of `tramp-completion-function-alist'. The old definition of `tramp-get-completion-function' has been discarded. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Change function call for user/host completion according to definition in `tramp-completion-function-alist'. (tramp-parse-passwd): Added exception handling for "root", because `tramp-get-completion-su' (the previous place for this stuff) doesn't exist any longer. 2002-09-07 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-enter-password): Use `tramp-password-end-of-line' to terminate the line. (tramp-bug): Include new variable `tramp-password-end-of-line'. (tramp-password-end-of-line): New variable. People who use plink under Windows might have to issue "\r\n" after the password, but they need to send just "\n" after the other commands. So this variable was introduced to complement `tramp-rsh-end-of-line'. (tramp-wait-for-output, tramp-post-connection): Allow "\r" at end of line of the output delimiter. 2002-09-06 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-find-shell) (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Add some comments about Douglas Grey Stephen's suggestions to make Tramp work better with plink under Windows. I'm not sure what to think of them, but now I have a guinea pig to try it out on. Said guinea pig is having other problems, though... Also remove some commented-out code. 2002-09-06 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-get-completion-methods): Algorithm slightly tuned. (tramp-get-completion-user-host): Accept user names as they are if typed until "@". (tramp-completion-mode): Replace `last-input-char' by modern `last-input-event'. Check for `event-modifiers'. 2002-09-06 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (file-expand-wildcards): Corrected check to see if advising is necessary. 2002-09-05 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-postfix-single-method-format) (tramp-postfix-multi-method-format) (tramp-postfix-multi-hop-format) (tramp-postfix-user-format): New format strings. (tramp-postfix-single-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-hop-regexp) (tramp-postfix-user-regexp) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format) (tramp-make-tramp-file-name): Apply them. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Fix for invoking ange-ftp in case of "/ftp:xxx" file names. 2002-09-04 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-prefix-format) (tramp-postfix-host-format): New format strings. (tramp-prefix-regexp, tramp-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-single-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-hop-regexp) (tramp-user-regexp, tramp-postfix-user-regexp) (tramp-host-regexp, tramp-postfix-host-regexp) (tramp-path-regexp): New atomar regular expressions. If corresponding format strings exist, derived from them. (tramp-file-name-structure) (tramp-multi-file-name-structure) (tramp-multi-file-name-hop-structure) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format) (tramp-completion-mode) (tramp-completion-dissect-file-name) (tramp-parse-rhosts-group) (tramp-parse-shosts-group) (tramp-parse-hosts-group) (tramp-parse-passwd-group): Apply these expressions. (tramp-file-name-structure-unified) (tramp-file-name-structure-separate) (tramp-make-tramp-file-format-unified) (tramp-make-tramp-file-format-separate) (tramp-make-tramp-file-format) (tramp-make-tramp-file-user-nil-format-unified) (tramp-make-tramp-file-user-nil-format-separate) (tramp-make-tramp-file-user-nil-format) (tramp-multi-file-name-structure-unified) (tramp-multi-file-name-structure-separate) (tramp-multi-file-name-hop-structure-unified) (tramp-multi-file-name-hop-structure-separate) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format-unified) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format-separate): Removed. (tramp-make-tramp-file-name): Allow partial tramp file names. Generate tramp file format on-the-fly depending on parameters. Apply atomar format strings resp expressions. (tramp-get-completion-methods) (tramp-get-completion-user-host): Apply `tramp-make-tramp-file-name'. (tramp-parse-hosts-group): Take all host names and IP addresses into account. (tramp-bug): Remove `tramp-make-tramp-file-format'. 2002-09-01 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-methods): Add `tramp-completion-function' for "su" and "sudo". (tramp-get-completion-telnet): Implement it. (tramp-parse-hosts) (tramp-parse-hosts-group) (tramp-get-completion-su) (tramp-parse-passwd) (tramp-parse-passwd-group): New functions. 2002-08-31 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-mode): Check for `last-input-char'. (tramp-completion-file-name-handler-alist): Add handler for `file-exists-p. (tramp-completion-handle-file-exists-p): New function. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-completion): Simplified. (tramp-completion-dissect-file-name): Regexp's reorganised. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Call completion-function only if `user' or `host' is given. (tramp-get-completion-user-host): New function. (tramp-get-completion-rsh) (tramp-get-completion-ssh): Apply it. 2002-08-29 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-file-name-handler-alist): Add handler for `expand-file-name'. (tramp-completion-handle-expand-file-name): New function. 2002-08-26 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-mode): New function. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-directory) (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Apply it. (tramp-methods): Remove double definition of `ssh1-old' and `ssh2-old'. (tramp-point-at-eol): New defalias.

(tramp-completion-file-name-regexp-separate): Expression adapted. (tramp-completion-file-name-handler-alist): Add handler for `file-name-directory' and `file-name-nondirectory'. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-directory) (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-nondirectory) (tramp-completion-run-real-handler): New functions. (tramp-completion-file-name-handler) (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Apply `tramp-completion-run-real-handler'. (tramp-parse-rhosts) (tramp-parse-shosts): Use `with-temp-buffer'. `result? renamed to `res' (otherwise side effects in XEmacs). 2002-08-24 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-file-name-regexp) (tramp-completion-file-name-handler-alist) (tramp-flatten-list) (tramp-completion-dissect-file-name) (tramp-get-completion-rsh) (tramp-parse-rhosts) (tramp-parse-rhosts-group) (tramp-get-completion-ssh): Doc string tuned. (tramp-methods): Doc string and custom type extended for `tramp-completion-function'. (tramp-completion-function): Variable added. Is it really used? Other variables like `tramp-completion-function' aren't used. (tramp-completion-file-name-handler-alist): Add handler for `file-name-completion'. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-completion): New function. 2002-08-18 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-parse-rhosts) (tramp-parse-rhosts-group) (tramp-parse-shosts) (tramp-parse-shosts-group): New functions. 2002-08-17 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-dissect-file-name) (tramp-completion-dissect-file-name1): New functions. 2002-08-16 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-get-completion-function) (tramp-get-completion-rsh) (tramp-get-completion-ssh) (tramp-get-completion-telnet): New functions.

Remember old point in a variable instead of using `mark'. Suggestion from Stefan Monnier. (tramp-unified-filenames): New variable. Use it in default value of other filename variables. (file-expand-wildcards): Don't advise unless "[" and "]" are used in the filename format. 2002-09-01 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-methods): Remove duplicate definition of ssh1-old and ssh2-old.

;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides remote file editing, similar to ange-ftp.
;; The difference is that ange-ftp uses FTP to transfer files between
;; the local and the remote host, whereas tramp.el uses a combination
;; of rsh and rcp or other work-alike programs, such as ssh/scp.
;;
;; For more detailed instructions, please see the info file, which is
;; included in the file `tramp.tar.gz' mentioned below.
;;
;; Notes:
;; -----
;; 
;; This package only works for Emacs 20 and higher, and for XEmacs 21
;; and higher.  (XEmacs 20 is missing the `with-timeout' macro.  Emacs
;; 19 is reported to have other problems.  For XEmacs 21, you need the
;; package `fsf-compat' for the `with-timeout' macro.)
;;
;; This version might not work with pre-Emacs 21 VC unless VC is
;; loaded before tramp.el.  Could you please test this and tell me about
;; the result?  Thanks.

  "*Alist of methods for remote files.
This is a list of entries of the form (NAME PARAM1 PARAM2 ...).
Each NAME stands for a remote access method.  Each PARAM is a
pair of the form (KEY VALUE).  The following KEYs are defined:
 * `tramp-connection-function'
    This specifies the function to use to connect to the remote host.
    Currently, `tramp-open-connection-rsh', `tramp-open-connection-telnet'
    and `tramp-open-connection-su' are defined.  See the documentation
    of these functions for more details.
  * `tramp-remote-sh'
    This specifies the Bourne shell to use on the remote host.  This
    MUST be a Bourne-like shell.  It is normally not necessary to set
    this to any value other than \"/bin/sh\": tramp wants to use a shell
    which groks tilde expansion, but it can search for it.  Also note
    that \"/bin/sh\" exists on all Unixen, this might not be true for
    the value that you decide to use.  You Have Been Warned.
  * `tramp-rsh-program'
    This specifies the name of the program to use for rsh; this might be
    the full path to rsh or the name of a workalike program.
  * `tramp-rsh-args'
    This specifies the list of arguments to pass to the above
    mentioned program.  Please note that this is a list of arguments,
    that is, normally you don't want to put \"-a -b\" or \"-f foo\"
    here.  Instead, you want two list elements, one for \"-a\" and one
    for \"-b\", or one for \"-f\" and one for \"foo\".
  * `tramp-rcp-program'
    This specifies the name of the program to use for rcp; this might be
    the full path to rcp or the name of a workalike program.
  * `tramp-rcp-args'
    This specifies the list of parameters to pass to the above mentioned
    program, the hints for `tramp-rsh-args' also apply here.
  * `tramp-rcp-keep-date-arg'
    This specifies the parameter to use for `rcp' when the timestamp
    of the original file should be kept.  For `rcp', use `-p', for
    `rsync', use `-t'.
  * `tramp-su-program'
    This specifies the name of the program to use for `su'.
  * `tramp-su-args'
    This specifies the list of arguments to pass to `su'.
    \"%u\" is replaced by the user name, use \"%%\" for a literal
    percent character.
  * `tramp-telnet-program'
    Specifies the telnet program to use when using
    `tramp-open-connection-telnet' to log in.
  * `tramp-telnet-args'
    Specifies list of arguments to pass to `telnet'.  The hints for
    `tramp-rsh-args' also apply here.

What does all this mean?  Well, you should specify `tramp-rsh-program',
`tramp-telnet-program' or `tramp-su-program' for all methods; this program
is used to log in to the remote site.  Then, there are two ways to
actually transfer the files between the local and the remote side.
One way is using an additional rcp-like program.  If you want to do
this, set `tramp-rcp-program' in the method.

Another possibility for file transfer is inline transfer, i.e. the
file is passed through the same buffer used by `tramp-rsh-program'.  In
this case, the file contents need to be protected since the
`tramp-rsh-program' might use escape codes or the connection might not
be eight-bit clean.  Therefore, file contents are encoded for transit.
See the variable `tramp-coding-commands' for details.

So, to summarize: if the method is an out-of-band method, then you
must specify `tramp-rcp-program' and `tramp-rcp-args'.  If it is an
inline method, then these two parameters should be nil.  Every method,
inline or out of band, must specify `tramp-connection-function' plus
the associated arguments (for example, the telnet program if you chose
`tramp-open-connection-telnet').

Notes:

When using `tramp-open-connection-su' the phrase `open connection to a
remote host' sounds strange, but it is used nevertheless, for
consistency.  No connection is opened to a remote host, but `su' is
started on the local host.  You are not allowed to specify a remote
host other than `localhost' or the name of the local host."

holding the components.  For example, if VAR is the symbol `foo', then
`foo' will be bound to the whole structure, `foo-multi-method' will
be bound to the multi-method component, and so on for `foo-method',
`foo-user', `foo-host', `foo-path'.

Remaining args are Lisp expressions to be evaluated (inside an implicit
`progn').

If VAR is nil, then we bind `v' to the structure and `multi-method',
`method', `user', `host', `path' to the components."

;;
;; Old text from documentation of tramp-methods:
;; Using a uuencode/uudecode inline method is discouraged, please use one
;; of the base64 methods instead since base64 encoding is much more
;; reliable and the commands are more standardized between the different
;; Unix versions.  But if you can't use base64 for some reason, please
;; note that the default uudecode command does not work well for some
;; Unices, in particular AIX and Irix.  For AIX, you might want to use
;; the following command for uudecode:
;;
;;     sed '/^begin/d;/^[` ]$/d;/^end/d' | iconv -f uucode -t ISO8859-1
;;
;; For Irix, no solution is known yet.

output.  The REMOTE-DECODING should also be a string, giving a command
accepting an encoded file on standard input and writing the decoded
file to standard output.

LOCAL-ENCODING and LOCAL-DECODING can be strings, giving commands, or
symbols, giving functions.  If they are strings, then they can contain
the \"%s\" format specifier.  If that specifier is present, the input
filename will be put into the command line at that spot.  If the
specifier is not present, the input should be read from standard
input.

If they are functions, they will be called with two arguments, start
and end of region, and are expected to replace the region contents
with the encoded or decoded results, respectively.")

;; Currently (as of Emacs 20.5), the function `shell-quote-argument'
;; does not deal well with newline characters.  Newline is replaced by
;; backslash newline.  But if, say, the string `a backslash newline b'
;; is passed to a shell, the shell will expand this into "ab",
;; completely omitting the newline.  This is not what was intended.
;; It does not appear to be possible to make the function
;; `shell-quote-argument' work with newlines without making it
;; dependent on the shell used.  But within this package, we know that
;; we will always use a Bourne-like shell, so we use an approach which
;; groks newlines.
;;
;; The approach is simple: we call `shell-quote-argument', then
;; massage the newline part of the result.
;;
;; This function should produce a string which is grokked by a Unix
;; shell, even if the Emacs is running on Windows.  Since this is the
;; kludges section, we bind `system-type' in such a way that
;; `shell-quote-arguments'  behaves as if on Unix.
;;
;; Thanks to Mario DeWeerd for the hint that it is sufficient for this
;; function to work with Bourne-like shells.
;;
;; CCC: This function should be rewritten so that
;; `shell-quote-argument' is not used.  This way, we are safe from

Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you
possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the
local and remote machines are.

If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen
reliably, please include those.  Thank you for helping kill bugs in
TRAMP.

Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in
the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug.  Then, include the contents
of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug
report.

;;; TODO:

;; * Autodetect if remote `ls' groks the "--dired" switch.
;; * Add fallback for inline encodings.  This should be used
;;   if the remote end doesn't support mimencode or a similar program.
;;   For reading files from the remote host, we can just parse the output
;;   of `od -b'.  For writing files to the remote host, we construct
;;   a shell program which contains only "safe" ascii characters
;;   and which writes the right bytes to the file.  We can use printf(1)
;;   or "echo -e" or the printf function in awk and use octal escapes
;;   for the "dangerous" characters.  The null byte might be a problem.
;;   On some systems, the octal escape doesn't work.  So we try the following
;;   two commands to write a null byte:
;;   dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1
;;   echo | tr '\n' '\000'
;; * Separate local `tramp-coding-commands' from remote ones.  Connect
;;   the two via a format which can be `uu' or `b64'.  Then we can search
;;   for the right local commands and the right remote commands separately.
;; * Cooperate with PCL-CVS.  It uses start-process, which doesn't
;;   work for remote files.
;; * Rewrite `tramp-shell-quote-argument' to abstain from using
;;   `shell-quote-argument'.
;; * Completion gets confused when you leave out the method name.
;; * Support `dired-compress-file' filename handler.
;; * In Emacs 21, `insert-directory' shows total number of bytes used
;;   by the files in that directory.  Add this here.
;; * Avoid screen blanking when hitting `g' in dired.  (Eli Tziperman)
;; * Make ffap.el grok Tramp filenames.  (Eli Tziperman)
;; * When logging in, keep looking for questions according to an alist
;;   and then invoke the right function.
;; * Case-insensitive filename completion.  (Norbert Goevert.)
;; * Running CVS remotely doesn't appear to work right.  It thinks
;;   files are locked by somebody else even if I'm the locking user.
;;   Sometimes, one gets `No CVSROOT specified' errors from CVS.
;;   (Skip Montanaro)
;; * Don't use globbing for directories with many files, as this is
;;   likely to produce long command lines, and some shells choke on
;;   long command lines.
;; * Find out about the new auto-save mechanism in Emacs 21 and
;;   do the right thing.
;; * `vc-directory' does not work.  It never displays any files, even
;;   if it does show files when run locally.
;; * Allow correction of passwords, if the remote end allows this.
;;   (Mark Hershberger)
;; * Make sure permissions of tmp file are good.
;;   (Nelson Minar <[e-mail]>)
;; * Grok passwd prompts with scp?  (David Winter
;;   <[e-mail]>).  Maybe just do `ssh -l user
;;   host', then wait a while for the passwd or passphrase prompt.  If
;;   there is one, remember the passwd/phrase.
;; * How to deal with MULE in `insert-file-contents' and `write-region'?
;; * Do asynchronous `shell-command's.
;; * Grok `append' parameter for `write-region'.
;; * Test remote ksh or bash for tilde expansion in `tramp-find-shell'?
;; * abbreviate-file-name
;; * grok ~ in tramp-remote-path  (Henrik Holm <[e-mail]>)
;; * `C' in dired gives error `not tramp file name'.
;; * Also allow to omit user names when doing multi-hop.  Not sure yet
;;   what the user names should default to, though.
;; * better error checking.  At least whenever we see something
;;   strange when doing zerop, we should kill the process and start
;;   again.  (Greg Stark)
;; * Add caching for filename completion.  (Greg Stark)
;;   Of course, this has issues with usability (stale cache bites) 
;;      -- <[e-mail]>
;; * Provide a local cache of old versions of remote files for the rsync
;;   transfer method to use.  (Greg Stark)
;; * Remove unneeded parameters from methods.
;; * Invoke rsync once for copying a whole directory hierarchy.
;;   (Francesco Potort́)
;; * Should we set PATH ourselves or should we rely on the remote end
;;   to do it?
;; * Do the autoconf thing.
;; * Make it work for XEmacs 20, which is missing `with-timeout'.
;; * Allow non-Unix remote systems.  (More a long-term thing.)
;; * Make it work for different encodings, and for different file name
;;   encodings, too.  (Daniel Pittman)
;; * Change applicable functions to pass a struct tramp-file-name rather
;;   than the individual items MULTI-METHOD, METHOD, USER, HOST, PATH.
;; * Implement asynchronous shell commands.
;; * Clean up unused *tramp/foo* buffers after a while.  (Pete Forman)
;; * Progress reports while copying files.  (Michael Kifer)
;; * `Smart' connection method that uses inline for small and out of
;;   band for large files.  (Michael Kifer)
;; * Don't search for perl5 and perl.  Instead, only search for perl and
;;   then look if it's the right version (with `perl -v').
;; * When editing a remote CVS controlled file as a different user, VC
;;   gets confused about the file locking status.  Try to find out why
;;   the workaround doesn't work.
;; * When user is running ssh-agent, it would be useful to add the
;;   passwords typed by the user to that agent.  This way, the next time
;;   round, the users don't have to type all this in again.
;;   This would be especially useful for start-process, I think.
;;   An easy way to implement start-process is to open a second shell
;;   connection which is inconvenient if the user has to reenter
;;   passwords.
;; * Change `copy-file' to grok the case where the filename handler
;;   for the source and the target file are different.  Right now,
;;   it looks at the source file and then calls that handler, if
;;   there is one.  But since ange-ftp, for instance, does not know
;;   about Tramp, it does not do the right thing if the target file
;;   name is a Tramp name.
;; * Username and hostname completion.
;; ** If `partial-completion-mode' isn't loaded, "/foo:bla" tries to
;;    connect to host "blabla" already if that host is unique. No idea
;;    how to suppress. Maybe not an essential problem.
;; ** For "/ssh1-old:", `(file-name-all-completions "ssh1" "/")' is called
;;    only. Likely due to word delimeter property of "-". Maybe we can remove
;;    all the "*-old" methods? Or rename them to "*_old"?
;; ** Try to avoid usage of `last-input-event' in `tramp-completion-mode'.
;; ** Handle quoted file names, starting with "/:". Problem is that
;;    `file-name-non-special' calls later on `file-name-all-completions'
;;    without ":". Hmm. Worth a bug report?
;; ** Acknowledge port numbers.
;; ** Extend `tramp-get-completion-su' for NIS and shadow passwords.
;; ** Unify `tramp-parse-{rhosts,shosts,hosts,passwd}'.
;;    Code is nearly identical.
;; ** Decide whiche files to take for searching user/host names depending on
;;    operating system (windows-nt) in `tramp-completion-function-alist'.
;; ** Enhance variables for debug.
