Hi,


I found emacs 24 does not respect the

   .dir-settings.el

anymore. Instead, it reads the

  .dir-locals.el


As it may have the exactly same contents, could we add a symlink?

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html
states it will work on FAT, too (there a file is created, but you cannot
change the type by accident).


I tested, and it works:

   $ ln -s  .dir-settings.el .dir-locals.el
   
   $ git add .dir-locals.el
   
   $ git commit
   Waiting for Emacs...
   [mit-symlink 7a09e3f] Added a symlink `.dir-locals.e.'
    1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
    create mode 120000 .dir-locals.el
   
   $ rm .dir-locals.el 
   
   $ git reset --hard
   HEAD is now at 7a09e3f Added a symlink `.dir-locals.e.'
   
   $ ls -la .dir*
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 sebastian ... 11:53 .dir-locals.el -> .dir-settings.el
   -rw-r--r-- 1 sebastian ... 10:44 .dir-settings.el


Objections?

GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of
2010-04-14 on beteigeuze 


It's the trunk of that date. I use it all day and it's fine. Only one
crash including my x-server - but I'm not sure who is to blame: Emacs or
my fingers.

I don't even recall the magic key on this machine, hence I could press
it once in a while without knowing it :-D

Thanks Sebastian.  Call me out-of-the-loop.  I wasn't even aware :D

I guess this would be somewhat system dependent?  Not all operating  
systems
do support this, I suppose?

Sorry, it seems I did not read carefully enough.  I have now applied
your change.
