Subject: 23.0.50; Unable to launch emacsclient from shell buffers:


One can no longer launch emacsclient from shell buffers, if you
do you get the folllowing error:

emacsclient foo
*ERROR*: Terminal type "dumb" is not powerful enough to run Emacs
22:26:39 labrador ~ $ 

This is a problem because programs like cvs and svn that use
emacsclient  as their editor can no longer be launched from
inside an Emacs shell buffer.

This is not a problem. Invoking "emacsclient -c" in that situation
works. After the multi-tty merge emacsclient defaults to creating a
new frame. Stefan is working on changing the default to what it was
before the merge.
