Subject: 29.0.50; loaddefs-generate prints output-file relative to
 lisp-directory
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2022 23:18:40 +0300

Severity: minor

0. cd "$(mktemp -d)"

1. cat << EOF > foo.el
   ;;;###autoload
   (defun foo ())
   EOF

2. emacs -Q -batch -f loaddefs-generate-batch foo-autoloads.el "$PWD"

   INFO     Scraping files for loaddefs... 
   INFO     Scraping files for loaddefs...done
   GEN      ../../../../../../../tmp/tmp.L6jGBTv9Bo/foo-autoloads.el

3. emacs -Q -batch -eval '
   (let* ((d default-directory)
          (lisp-directory d))
     (loaddefs-generate d "foo-autoloads.el" nil nil nil t))'

   INFO     Scraping files for loaddefs... 
   INFO     Scraping files for loaddefs...done
   GEN      foo-autoloads.el

Note how in step 2 loaddefs-generate prints output-file relative to
lisp-directory, even though foo.el is external to the Emacs source tree.

I would expect the output to be closer to that in step 3, with the
overridden lisp-directory.

WDYT?

Ideally I would like to customise/silence the rest of the output as
well, but maybe that should be in a separate feature request?

Thanks,
