This recent change leads to annoying behavior:
2007-07-02 Richard Stallman <address@hidden>
* startup.el (command-line): Set buffer-offer-save in *scratch*
and enable auto-save in it.
After this was checked in, I noticed Emacs kept asking me if I wanted
to save the *scratch* buffer upon each exit. That was annoying, but
tolerable, so I just answered "no". A while later, I happened to do
an `ls' in my home directory, and found it cluttered with 10-20
auto-save files:
#*scratch*#10823QZW#
#*scratch*#220140RY#
#*scratch*#72802aU#
...
At the very least, we should (i) offer an option to adopt the Emacs 22
behavior for the *scratch* buffer, i.e. with buffer-offer-save and
auto-save disabled, and (ii) delete the auto-save file if the user
answers "no" when asked if *scratch* should be saved.
