ignore-parent works the wrong way...

It want to ignore '..' when it is a stupid choice.
eg.
mkdir Z
cd Z/[tab]
should NOT complete to 'cd Z/../'
(unless CHASE_DOTS is on and 'cd Z/..' will be different from 'cd .')

likewise...
mkdir Z
mkdir Z/Y
cd Z/[tab]
should NOT give me '..' as a choice, but just complete to 'cd Z/Y'
(unless CHASE_DOTS is on and 'cd Z/..' will be different from 'cd .')
