[xemacs-hg @ 2005-03-17 09:26:07 by michaels] 2005-03-17 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> * files.el: Merge the following changes from GNU Emacs: 2005-01-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> * files.el (insert-directory): Only look for error lines in inserted text. Don't move too far after processing --dired markers. 2004-12-27 Richard M. Stallman <rms@gnu.org> * files.el (insert-directory-ls-version): New variable. (insert-directory): When ls returns an error, test the version number to decide what the return code means. With --dired output format, detect and distinguish lines that are really error messages. (insert-directory-adj-pos): New function. 2004-09-25 Stefan Monnier <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca> * files.el (insert-directory): Obey --dired even with symlinks. 2004-05-25 Luc Teirlinck <teirllm@auburn.edu> (insert-directory): Check that lines were really inserted by the --dired switch, before erasing them. 2004-04-17 Richard M. Stallman <rms@gnu.org> * files.el (insert-directory): Delete any error msg output by the `insert-directory-program'.
