I expected that to be the response.  And no doubt on the bash mailing
list it would be the opposite.  I will ask them though.  To my mind the
best resolution is for both programs to accept both keybindings.

I agree that sometimes it happens that the minibuffer contains more than
one line of text.  But never with find-file.  I don't think I've ever wanted to
create or open a filename with embedded newline using Emacs.

As a compromise could Emacs make C-p do previous-line if the minibuffer
contains more than one line, and previous-history-element otherwise?
