I found a problem with the solution to this bug. The solution could be further
improved.
My Emacs init file is "~/.emacs.d/init.el". It has numbered backups in
"~/.emacs.d/.~/". It is true that with the existing fix, I can invoke
dired-diff on init.el and immediately hit RET, and it will work as expected.
However, I often want to compare with an earlier backup.Therefore, I want to be
able to:
1. Pull into the minibuffer (with M-n) the path to the latest backup, so I could
edit it to become the path of an earlier backup. Or even better,
2. Pull into the minibuffer (with M-n) the path to the latest backup, and get
the path of earlier and earlier backups with successive invocations of M-n.
The current fix lacks both of these features.
