I added this to make it analogue to C-u C-SPC C-SPC ... (which I find is a wast improvement over the old C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC ... method). The only problem with the new behaviour is if the user wants to set the mark immediately after C-x C-SPC (I'd think that is quite rare), but that case is not different from the situation where you would want to set the mark immediately after doing C-u C-SPC C-SPC ... So I really don't see why this is a bad idea, as I (and others) actually find the difference in behaviour rather confusing, and think the new method C-x C-SPC C-SPC... is a wast improvement over the old C-x C-SPC C-x C-SPC... like it is for C-u C-SPC ... In any case, I have now reverted the patch, so the old behaviour is now the default; however, the IMO improved behaviour can still be selected with a new user option `pop-global-mark-quick-repeat'. -- Kim F.
