You mean that INSIDE_EMACS is now correctly set with EShell, right?

Then, the Emacs manual is correct too in *eshell*:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   Emacs sets the environment variable =E2=80=98INSIDE_EMACS=E2=80=99 in th=
e subshell to
=E2=80=98VERSION,comint=E2=80=99, where VERSION is the Emacs version (e.g.,=
 =E2=80=9824.1=E2=80=99).
Programs can check this variable to determine whether they are running
inside an Emacs subshell.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


> Question: Which INSIDE_EMACS hack?

INSIDE_EMACS has been introduced as a hack because then:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Programs can check this variable to determine whether they are running
inside an Emacs subshell.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and the GNU tools can be better integrated with Emacs, IMHO.


All the best,
