Zsh tends to ignore '..' on the grounds that you only have to type one
character either way, so it's not a hardship to type '/' instead of TAB.
In 4.0.1 with the `compinit' system installed, you can fix this in some
contexts by using:
zstyle ':completion:*' special-dirs ".."
I say "in some contexts" because the special-dirs style applies only when
completing path names or directories, not when completing file names. So
the above style will allow '..' to complete to '../' after 'cd', but not
after 'ls' (for example). This is probably a bug.
To zsh-workers:
In _path_files, the special-dirs style is looked up only as a string, but
the documentation says it may be either a string or a boolean. Then the
string is used only if there's already a '/' on the line or if the -f or
-/ options were given.
However, in _files, _path_files is always called with -g option, so the
special-dirs style doesn't work at all for _files.
