Hurmf, somebody put
((and (not no-error-if-not-filep)
(member file '("." "..")))
(error "Cannot operate on `.' or `..'"))
in dired.el, meaning that I can no longer do
(dired-do-shell-command "du -s" nil (quote ("."))), i.e.,
! d u SPC - s <return>
There are no comments in the code saying why the new restriction.
- dired "Cannot operate on `.' or `..'" for what good reason?,
