cvs completion messy on dangling slink

cvs completion messy on dangling slink

[Peter Whaite]

When I ask for completions on a `cvs commit' command I get:

 cvs commit _cvs_modified_entries:stat:8: .#colorcube: no such file or directory
_cvs_modified_entries:stat:8: .#fuji-2.patch: no such file or directory


Problem is the named .# files are symlinks to nowhere

    .#colorcube -> peta@ursula.cortexmachina.com.10716:960560451
    .#fuji-2.patch -> peta@ursula.cortexmachina.com.17118:1

and I have to confess I dont know how they got there as the repository is
local, not remote.  All I can think is that I scp'd them across from my remote
repository.

Anyway, assuming cvs is responsible for these slinks, then it would be nice to
have them handled gracefully.

This is RH6.2, zsh-3.1.9-dev-3, from todays cvs.

This should take care of it.

In the very general case, though, I still lament that there's no good way
to capture this kind of error output and present it via _message or some
other completion-friendly mechanism.

Yes. Any ideas for how to do that?
