Preserve trailing slash after completing remote path

Preserve trailing slash after completing remote path

Hi,

I have "unsetopt autoremoveslash" in ~/.zshrc, which prevents the removal
of the trailing slash after directory completion. I would also like this
behavior after completing remote paths to directories, for example:

% rsync server:path/to/directory/

Does anyone know how I get the behavior of "unsetopt autoremoveslash" with
remote paths?

Thanks for your help,
Alan

Unfortunately the _remote_files function explicitly passes the
autoremove option to compadd, so the only way to get this to work is
to edit or replace that file.
