Re: Bug#443439: emacs: run-octave captures the shell directory tracker

[Richard Stallman]

    This patch does not apply cleanly to the octave-inf.el file that is
    distributed with Octave.  I think the octave-{inf,mod,hlp}.el files
    that are included with Emacs have diverged from the versions that are
    distributed with Octave.  It would be helpful if someone could
    reconcile the differences.

Have both versions been differently maintained?  If only the versions
in Emacs have been changed, then it's simple.

      Should we even continue to distribute
    these files with Octave?

I think there is no reason to do so, now that they are in Emacs.
However, if improvements have been made in the versions distributed
with Octave, we should merge them into Emacs.
