M-x compile added cvs up; to start of make command-line, hit return Killed directory buffer. Switched to *compilation* and did M-x rename-buffer Supplied name *myprog update build*, left it to finish building. After it'd finished I fixed a compile error and, with cursor in *myprog update build*, did M-x compile removed the cvs up; from the command-line, hit return. The new compilation re-used *myprog update build* as its buffer, instead of creating a new buffer called *compilation* as clearly explained in the documentation for M-x compile, specifically when explaining how to avoid conflict between compilations (albeit ones running in parallel). The problem with this is that I actually wanted to keep the ouptut from the original build - it recorded what files I've got locally changed, and contained compiler warnings that I wanted to fix ! I now have to do another cvs up to recover the list of local changes; and I'll need to make clean and make in order to recover the list of warnings. compilation-buffer-name-function is nil This is probably just a documentation bug. I can see the given behaviour might even be intended, it's just not what I'm used to, so it caught me out.
