Likely, it was related to the ambigous old syntax, when you didn't know
whether "foo" is a method or a hostname, after typing "/foo:". So it was
unclear, whether "baz" would be a remote file name to be completed,
after typing "/foo:baz<TAB>". An additional slash "/foo:./baz<TAB>" made
it obvious.

I'll check whether I could improve this, now with the changed syntax.

Best regards, Michael.
