   When I do

        C-x C-f c:/temp/, TAB

it just completes to "c:/temp/eclean" instead of showing the alternatives.

I wonder if that is due to spuriously matching the "CVS/" element of
completion-ignored-extensions.  Maybe we need to change that to "/CVS/".
The documentation says that

   Directories are ignored if they match any string in this list which
   ends in a slash.

It does not say that directories ending in any of those strings are ignored. However the code in file_name_completion (in dired.c) looks too me like it ignores directories ending in those strings.

Which is the intended behaviour?
