Subject: 27.2; auto-insert-mode causes interactive prompt for
 update-directory-autoloads
Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2022 17:06:40 -0800

When `auto-insert-mode` is enabled, `update-directory-autoloads` causes an
interactive prompt to appear for inserting an Emacs Lisp header.

This is because `update-directory-autoloads` calls
`autoload-find-generated-file`, which uses `find-file-noselect`.

Arguably, it's wrong to use `find-file-noselect` programmaticaly
(https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/2898), but I understand that
`find-file-noselect` does some convenient magic like decoding.  A quick
hacky fix would be to `let`-bind `auto-insert` to nil in
`autoload-find-generated-file`.

 of 2021-03-26 built on juergen

Yep, it looks like it's fixed, thanks.
