Subject: Re: find-file for file that was deleted, when visiting buffer still exists
Date: Sun, 04 Mar 2007 21:55:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1HO3MM-0002jk-OY@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <BDEIJAFNGDOAGCJIPKPBMEBDCDAA.drew.adams@oracle.com>

    1. Visit a file `foo' in a buffer. Close the window, but don't kill the
    buffer.

    2. Delete file `foo' (e.g. `delete-file' or some other way that doesn't also
    kill the buffer).

    3. `C-x C-f foo'

Perhaps it should visit the buffer foo, and give a warning that the
file no longer exists.  That seems better to me.  Does anyone
disagree?

(To ask what to do would be surprising and inconvenient.)
