I checked how the find-file func works. I see we should learn find-file 
behavior.

That means `project-find-file' will not set the default file instead 
using M-n (next-history-element) if the user wants to use find file at 
point.

By using this behavior, we can go to in dired mode of project root by 
default. Currently, we can not jump to dired mode if the text around 
point 'compile.el'

I mean we have to looks by our eyes :P

Oh, you mentioned "confirm". Do you use magit? I see this package has a 
good UI/UX by default. If the user wants to push to a new branch is not 
exist, magit will a "confirm" question.
