I've now changed Tramp such that (expand-file-name
"/address@hidden:/../foo") evals to "/foo".

    (Aside: It's not clear to me what (expand-file-name
    "/address@hidden:../foo") should eval to.  Usually, relative localnames
    (the ../foo part) are considered to be relative to the remote home
    dir.  Any advice?)

Does this change make things Just Work, or is a change in
file-relative-name still required?
