Commit b663c837249 (in May) which says "Cosmetic changes" is the one
that introduced this code?
(let ((olddir (or (getenv "TMPDIR") "/tmp")))
(when (and (equal dir (format "%s/emacs" (getenv "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR")))
(file-writable-p olddir))
(let ((link (format "%s/emacs%d" olddir (user-uid))))
(unless (file-directory-p link)
;; We're using the new location, so try and setup a symlink from
;; the old location, in case we want to use an old emacsclient.
;; FIXME: Check that it's safe to use!
(make-symbolic-link dir link t)))))
And instead of making things work with an old emacsclient, it breaks the
Emacs 26 emacsclient?
I may be reading the region history wrong, though.
Stefan, was this checked in by mistake?
