I added this to make it analogue to C-u C-SPC C-SPC ... (which I
find is a wast improvement over the old C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC ...
method).
The only problem with the new behaviour is if the user wants to set
the mark immediately after C-x C-SPC (I'd think that is quite rare),
but that case is not different from the situation where you would want
to set the mark immediately after doing C-u C-SPC C-SPC ...
So I really don't see why this is a bad idea, as I (and others)
actually find the difference in behaviour rather confusing, and think
the new method C-x C-SPC C-SPC... is a wast improvement over the old
C-x C-SPC C-x C-SPC... like it is for C-u C-SPC ...
In any case, I have now reverted the patch, so the old behaviour is
now the default; however, the IMO improved behaviour can still be
selected with a new user option `pop-global-mark-quick-repeat'.
