bug#60968: 30.0.50; M-x shell keeps an old default-directory

[Manuel Giraud <manuel@ledu-giraud.fr>]

Here is an annoyance I bump into sometimes.  Recipe:

    C-x C-f /-:somewhere-remote:
    M-x shell ;; Emacs asks me about the remote shell and that is not
              ;; what I want
    C-g
    C-x C-f somewhere-local
    M-x shell ;; Emacs still asks me about the previous remote shell

It seems to come from the fact that when in shell.el line 865 the
"*shell*" buffer is already created and its default-directory set…  Or
maybe, I'm just doing it wrong when I want a shell.
