 How is that going to help me?

 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 .')
