Re: assoc-delete-all

[Richard M. Stallman]

    Well, assoc-delete-all will help to fix the bug in 
dired-compare-directories.

    Sometimes the number of marked files it reports is wrong.  That's
    because it compares the file attributes of directories "." and "..",
    but dired mark-functions don't mark them.

Is the following patch not right?
