Thanks!

Could you try testing the new behavior in 
xref-find-references-and-replace? I'm seeing this:

- If there are no entries in history, I see the appropriate text in the 
first prompt (featuring the tag near point), but when I press RET, the 
next prompt which should mention the thing to replace, just has two 
spaces in a row. And indeed, the behavior is as if it's read an empty 
string.

- If there are history entries, and I press RET (to use the default 
FROM), it proceeds to do a search right away instead of prompting me for 
TO. And it uses the from-to pair from history instead of the current input.

project-query-replace-regexp seems all right, OTOH.
