Hi,

Commit d3605ed7d17 breaks org-mode batch export since buffer-file-name is
now nil.  Is this a feature?

commit d3605ed7d173aa1c23ad8944cf92e7b810330cb8

    Show files when `initial-buffer-choice' is non-nil
    
    * startup.el (command-line-1): When Emacs is given a file as an
    argument and `initial-buffer-choice' is non-nil, display both the file
    and `initial-buffer-choice'.  For more than one file, show
    `initial-buffer-choice' and *Buffer List*.  Refactor display-changing
    commands out of the command line arg parser.
    (initial-buffer-choice): Clarify docstring.

Minimal test

    $ emacs --no-init-file --batch --file foo.org --eval="(let ((name (buffer-file-name))) (with-temp-file \"report.txt\" (insert (message \"%S\n\" name))))"
    $ cat report.txt

Before the mentioned commit buffer-file-name would not be nil when --file
is given.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] switch to file buffer from command line args regardless
 of `initial-buffer-choice'
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:16:54 -0700

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Fixed with 5cd6c08 by using `set-buffer' instead of 'find-file'.

Best,
Samer
