Hello, Emacs.
In the master branch (I'm sure it's the same in the emacs-25 branch,
too):
1. start Emacs with emacs -Q
2. Visit any emacs lisp file which is part of Emacs with C-x C-f.
3. Do C-h C-v indent-tabs-mode <RET>. The *Help* buffer starts off
with:
indent-tabs-mode is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is nil
Original value was t
Local in buffer follow.el; global value is t
. The local value comes from the .dir-locals in the top level Emacs
directory.
4. Do M-x emacs-lisp-mode.
5. Again do C-h C-v indent-tabs-mode <RET>. This time, the *Help*
buffer starts off with:
indent-tabs-mode is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is t
. This is different from the first *Help* buffer.
6. This is a bug. On running a major mode, directory local settings
should be respected.
