bug#12725: dired-do-shell-command should allow . and ..


From: Hemal Pandya
Subject: bug#12725: dired-do-shell-command should allow . and ..
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:20:05 -0700

In dired buffer, hitting `!' on current directory (`.') or parent
directory (`..') results in the error
   dired-get-filename: Cannot operate on `.' or `..'

There is no reason this should not be allowed. Please allow running
commands on these two.


This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/24.2/etc/DEBUG.
