Question about tramp

Can anyone tell me if that extra apostrophe actually belongs there
and if so, why? I don't see how it could work unless you're prompt
actually ends with an apostrophe.
It's intentional. Specifically, it's not an apostrophe. The
backslash makes it a special regular expression operator that matches
the empty string at end-of-buffer.
The intention is to match only at the last prompt in the buffer.
Evidently your remote shell is producing text that matches what TRAMP
considers to be a shell prompt, and then adding something to it. The
"expected" way to fix this is to
(setq tramp-shell-prompt-pattern
(concat tramp-shell-prompt-pattern re-matching-trailing-stuff))
or alternatively teach the shell not to do that.
Could you show us and the TRAMP developers what the "extra" stuff that
your remote shell is appending looks like?
