Re: Discrepancy in definition/use of match-data?

[Richard Stallman]

    OK, I have tripped this in three functions so far.  All of them look
    relevant to GNU Emacs.

    isearch.el (isearch-repeat):  both calls to match-{beginning,end}

It is checking whether the last match for the search string was empty.
I think this change should make it work without using the match-data.
Does it work?
