24.3.50; file-executable-p return value incorrect for directories on Windows |
Date: |
Sat, 17 Nov 2012 19:22:41 +0000 |
On the trunk, `file-executable-p' now seems to return nil for (all?)
accessible directories. For instance, this makes most "vc-" commands fail.
This happens with Windows XP and Windows 7.
For a recipe from `emacs -Q' see the recent input and recent messages

Thanks.
I found this problem independently 2.5 hours ago and fixed it in
revision 110923. (It is always recommended to try sync'ing with the
repository before reporting a bug.)
Closing the bug report.
