Find the following fix attached.  We had a problem with our
application that uses `emacslient --no-wait' to edit input files.

Emacs-21.2 (unlike previous versions), when invoked through
`emacsclient --no-wait', wants to revert buffers whenever they have
been edited, and does allow any editing, which is annoying.  When
invoking with --no-wait, we are typically `moving around' and editing
the same file all the time; and do not want to revert.

When it does revert the buffer, it does not use the column argument of
emacsclient; this is now fixed.

Greetings,
Han-Wen and Jan.


Btw: this message was sent to bug-gnu-emacs about three weeks ago, but
     that list seems to be slightly foobarred?  We both have current
     disclaimers with GNU.


ChangeLog:
2002-07-21  Jan Nieuwenhuizen  <janneke@gnu.org>

	* server.el (server-process-filter): Cleanup stray if.  Add
	'no-revert to file list entry when emacsclient was invoked with
	'--no-wait'.
	(server-visit-files): New function goto-line-column.  Accept
	'no-revert option.  Bugfix: also goto column when reverting
	buffer.
