Re: Unsafe variable in a saved *compilation* buffer

[Richard Stallman]

    I.e. by setting default-directory in the file-local variables you make the
    relative file names fail when I access the saved compilation buffer under
    a different name (e.g. via Tramp, NFS, sshfs, ...).

I see your point about that.

    Maybe the proposition by <sorry-can't-remember-who> to only add the
    default-directory file-local variable when the file is saved to a different
    directory would make it possible to reconcile our conflicting needs.

Yes, it would.  I find the idea that saving modifies the buffer somewhat
disturbing, but time-stamp and VC can do that, so it is not outrageous.

Would you like to implement that?
