Re: recentf improvement

[Richard Stallman]

    Finally, I don't see the point of calling `abbreviate-file-name' on
    every recent file before copying them to file-name-history?

That is so the names in the history will be more concise.
I think this is desirable, so I think you should put that call
back in.

I cannot install the patch--there seem to be collisions
of some sort.  Can someone else please install it?
