Patch Level: 21
Release Status: release

Description:

i don't remember _precisely_ how it used to work, but i know that the behavior 
of FIGNORE has gotten worse over time.

ignoring files used to not be _quite_ so absolute.  It used to be that you 
could begin typing a filename normally-ignored filename and have it complete... 
 
        if there was no foo.c, then typing foo^i would give you foo.o 
        if there were both foo.c and foo.o, then typing foo^i would give you 
foo.c' ' and not beep at you because foo.o was 'ignored'

Fix:

a bit of archaeology or an interview with an old-timer would probably help to 
spec out a better behavior than the current one.
