They were discussed in the followup to: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/135971 But I can't seem to find the thread. Leo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

There is opposition to fixing it in start/call-process since it does the wrong thing if the command uses to relative filenames. There is no opposition to "a general fix" at all, although such a general fix would look like a macro that can easily be added where useful/needed, or maybe some additional arg, or clever reuse of existing arg.
