Hello,
Suppose I have set up four directory trees
(by extracting from a version control system):
your_view/foo/bar/baz.c
other/foo/bar/baz.c
ancestor/foo/bar/baz.c
result/foo/bar/baz.c
Each of the four directories can contain many more
subdirectories and files.
Now I start emacs like so:
emacs --eval '(ediff-merge-directories-with-ancestor "your_view"
"other" "ancestor" "." "result")'
emacs properly starts an ediff session showing the three directories
and defaulting to saving the merge results in "result" (the value of
the fifth parameter, merge-autostore-dir). The only
entry in this session is the subdirectory "foo". Moving to "foo"
and hitting RET results in the prompt:
Save merged files in directory: ~/..../your_view/
Inspecting the file ediff-mult.el I see that the function
ediff-filegroup-action (bound to RET in the ediff session
group panel) obtains the merge-autostore-dir from the
ediff-meta-list of this buffer but fails to pass the
merge-autostore-dir as a parameter to
ediff-directories-internal (called at line 1877).
It would be nice if ediff-filegroup-action would infer the
merge-autostore-dir from that of the parent session and the
name of the subdirectories, i.e. "result/foo/" in this case.
This bug (or misfeature) is also present in 24.5.1.
