Re: [PATCH] Implement XDG Base Directory specification for user-emacs-directory

[Elias Mårtenson]

Hello Eli,

I am sorry for the confusion caused. I was reading it on the phone, and due to the way the lines were broken up, I didn't notice that some of the lines were prefixed with a minus, indicating that they were removed.

Please ignore my comment.

Regards,

Elias

I admit that I don't see the duplication.  Can you point it out
explicitly?
