That just doesn't make sense. It neglects "~". IMHO, a filename such as "~/../bla" makes perfect sense, and I think that "~" should be expanded first, before processing "..". What do you think?
I see your point. I did not take "~" into consideration. Clearly "~" should be processed before ".."'s and the file handler should process "~". I my opinion that means that everyting after "/foo:" should be handled as something on the remote machine. I.e. "/foo:/.." should expand to "/foo:/" and not to "/". And file-relative-name should return an absolute name when FILENAME and DIRECTORY are on different machines.
